15(5)Regret
There the Venerable Sariputta addressed the bhikkhus...
"Friends,a bhikkhu passes his time in such a way that he dies with regret.
And how does a bhikkhu pass his time in such away that he dies with regret?
"Here,(1)a bhikkhu delights in work,takes delight in work,is devoted to delight in work...[as in 6:14]...(6)he delights in proliferation,takes delightin proliferation,is devoted to delightin proliferation.
When a bhikkhu passes his time in such a way he dies with regret.
This is called
a bhikkhu who delights in personal existence,who has not abandoned personal existence to completely make an end of suffering.
"Friends,a bhikkhu passes his time in such a way that he dies without regret.
And how does a bhikkhu pass his time in sucha way that he dies without regret?
"Here,(1)a bhikkhu does not delight in work,does not take delight in work,is not devoted to delight in work...[295]...(6)does not delight in proliferation,does not take delight in proliferation,is not devoted to delight in proliferation.
When a bhikkhu passes his time in such a way he dies without regret.
This is called
a bhikkhu who delights in nibbāna,who has abandoned personal existence to completely make an end of suffering."
[The verses are identical with those of 6:14.]
