[537] "In this way, venerable sir, do I instruct, encourage, inspire, and gladden the bhikkhus with a talk on the Dhamma; I spoke the summary (uddesa) and the analysis (vibhaṅga) of the one who has one auspicious night (bhaddekaratta):
One should not run back to the past,
nor place expectation upon the future;
what is past has been abandoned,
and the future has not yet arrived.
Whoever sees with insight (vipassati) each presently arisen dhamma
right where it arises—
invincible, unshakable—
having pierced through to that, let him cultivate it.
Today itself the effort must be made;
who knows whether death will come tomorrow?
For there is no bargaining for us
with Death (Maccu) and his great army.
One who dwells thus, ardent,
untiring by day and by night—
it is he indeed, says the peaceful sage,
who has one auspicious night.
