The Buddha’s Words of Wisdom

Kimbila asked the Lord: “What is the cause, what is the reason why, after the Tathãgata attains final Nirvãna, the good Dhamma will last long?”

“If, after the Tathãgata has attained final Nirvãna, the monks and the nuns, the laymen and the laywomen live with reverence and heed to the Teacher, the Dhamma and the Sangha, live with reverence and heed to the training, to concentration, to earnestness and to goodwill, then the good Dhamma will last long.”
