Thus have I heard:
One time, the Budha was staying at Anaathapindidas Ashrama in Jetavana of Shraavastii.
At that time, Bhagavaan said to the bhikshus:
“There are two factors that prevent the growth of wisdom. What are these two?
Not being eager to ask learned individuals questions and being attached to sleep with no diligence. Bhikshus, these two factors hinder wisdom.
On the other hand, there are two factors that lead to great wisdom. What are these two?
Being eager to inquire about the meanings of teachings from others and not being attached to sleep, but instead having a diligent mind.
Thus, bhikshus, these two factors lead to wisdom. You should cultivate the practice of abandoning unwholesome qualities. Thus, bhikshus, you should practice in this way.”
When the bhikshus heard what the Budha said, they followed it with joy.
