sn.14.22 Saṁyutta Nikāya (Linked Discourses)

Beginning With the Lazy

At Sāvatthī.
“Mendicants, sentient beings come together and converge because of an element:
the lazy with the lazy …
unmindful …
witless …
energetic …
mindful … wise …”

(All these should be treated in terms of the past, future, and present.)
