English version: The second instance of sloth is this. Furthermore, Venerable (ayusman, term of respect for a senior monk), suppose there is a certain person who, during the day, engages in various activities, thinking: 'I have already been busy with activities during the day, and my body is tired and weary. Now, in the evening, I cannot diligently practice the excellent conduct. I should rather lie down and rest to recuperate.' Having thought this, they do not diligently strive to attain what has not been attained, to reach what has not been reached, or to realize what has not been realized. This is called the third instance of sloth. Furthermore, Venerable, suppose there is a certain person who plans to do various activities tomorrow, and thinks: 'Since I will be doing things tomorrow, I should not diligently practice the excellent conduct I have been practicing. I should rather lie down and rest to build up my strength.' Having thought this, they do not diligently strive to attain what has not been attained, to reach what has not been reached, or to realize what has not been realized. This is called the fourth instance of sloth. Furthermore, Venerable, suppose there is a certain person who travels during the day, thinking: 'I have already traveled during the day, and my body is tired and weary. Now, in the evening, I cannot diligently practice the excellent conduct I have been practicing. I should rather lie down and rest to recuperate.' Having thought this, they do not diligently strive to attain what has not been attained, to reach what has not been reached, or to realize what has not been realized. This is called the fifth instance of sloth. Furthermore, Venerable, suppose there is a certain person who plans to travel tomorrow, and thinks: 'Since I will be traveling tomorrow, I should not diligently practice the excellent conduct I have been practicing. I should rather lie down and rest to build up my strength.' Having thought this, they do not diligently strive to attain what has not been attained, to reach what has not been reached, or to realize what has not been realized. This is called the sixth instance of sloth. Furthermore, Venerable, suppose there is a certain person who is currently afflicted by illness, thinking: 'I am currently afflicted by illness, and my body is weak. I am not able to diligently practice the excellent conduct I have been practicing. I should rather lie down and rest to recuperate.' Having thought this, they do not diligently strive to attain what has not been attained, to reach what has not been reached, or to realize what has not been realized. This is called the seventh instance of sloth. Furthermore, Venerable, suppose there is a certain person who, although having recovered from illness not long ago, thinks: 'I have suffered from illness, and although I have recovered not long ago, my body is still weak. I am not able to diligently practice the excellent conduct I have been practicing. I should rather lie down and rest to recuperate.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version ‘Having conceived this thought, he then does not diligently strive to obtain what has not been obtained, to reach what has not been reached, to realize what has not been realized; this is called the eighth matter of laziness.’ These eight are called matters of laziness. Question: ‘For what reason are these eight called matters of laziness?’ Answer: ‘Laziness means indolence. Because of these eight matters, laziness that has not arisen arises, and laziness that has arisen increases and expands even more; for this reason, they are called matters of laziness.’ ‘What are the eight matters of diligence?’ ‘Venerable sir, you should know that, for example, there is a certain person who, relying on a town or village, dwells there. In the early part of the day, he puts on his robes, takes his bowl, and enters the town or village to go begging for food. While begging for food, he thinks, “May I obtain delicious and abundant food.” If he does not get what he wants, he thinks, “Although I eat little, my body is light and agile, and I am capable of diligently cultivating the superior practices that I am cultivating.” Having conceived this thought, he diligently and fervently strives to obtain what has not been obtained, to reach what has not been reached, to realize what has not been realized; this is called the first matter of diligence.’ ‘Furthermore, venerable sir, there is a certain person who, relying on a town or village, dwells there. In the early part of the day, he puts on his robes, takes his bowl, and enters the town or village to go begging for food. While begging for food, he thinks, “May I obtain delicious and abundant food.” If he gets what he wants, he thinks, “Since I have eaten much, my body is strong and vigorous, and I am capable of diligently cultivating the superior practices that I am cultivating.” Having conceived this thought, he diligently and fervently strives to obtain what has not been obtained, to reach what has not been reached, to realize what has not been realized; this is called the second matter of diligence.’ ‘Furthermore, venerable sir, there is a certain person who is busy with work during the day, and thinks, “Since I am busy with work during the day, I have no time to study the Master's (Buddha's) holy teachings. Now, in the night, I should encourage myself to be diligent and make up for the previous lack.” Having conceived this thought, he diligently and fervently strives to obtain what has not been obtained, to reach what has not been reached, to realize what has not been realized; this is called the third matter of diligence.’ ‘Furthermore, venerable sir, there is a certain person who plans to do various tasks tomorrow, and thinks, “Since I will be doing tasks tomorrow, I will have no time to study the Master's teachings.
