[118] Bhikkhus, I do not see even one other thing that leads so much to the continuance, non-confusion, and non-disappearance of the true Dhamma (saddhamma) as this: the arousing of energy (viriyārambha). Bhikkhus, the arousing of energy leads to the continuance, non-confusion, and non-disappearance of the true Dhamma.
