The Discourse on Wakefulness
47.
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Worthy One, thus have I heard:
"A monk should dwell awake, monks, mindful, fully aware, concentrated, greatly delighted, and very pure, therein seeing with insight at the right time in wholesome mental states. For a monk dwelling awake, monks, mindful, fully aware, concentrated, greatly delighted, very pure, therein seeing with insight at the right time in wholesome mental states, one of two fruits is to be expected: final liberating knowledge in this very life; or, if there is a residue of clinging, non-returning." The Blessed One said this meaning. Therein this is said:
Wakefulness is better than sleep; there is no fear for the vigilant one.
In proper time, rightly investigating the Teaching, having become unified, he would dispel the darkness.
Having cut the fetter of birth and ageing, right here one may touch the unsurpassed highest enlightenment."
This meaning too was spoken by the Blessed One, thus have I heard. The tenth.
