[130] Bhikkhus, I do not perceive even one other thing (dhamma) that so leads to the endurance, non-forgetting, and non-disappearance of the true Dhamma (saddhamma) as this, bhikkhus: devotion to wholesome dhammas and non-devotion to unwholesome dhammas. Devotion to wholesome dhammas and non-devotion to unwholesome dhammas, bhikkhus, leads to the endurance, non-forgetting, and non-disappearance of the true Dhamma. The Tenth Chapter.
