“Bhikkhus, these five things lead to the decline and disappearance of the true teaching. What five? It’s when bhikkhus don’t carefully listen to the teachings, memorize them, and remember them. They don’t carefully examine the meaning of teachings that they remember. And they don’t carefully practice in line with the meaning and the teaching they’ve understood. These five things lead to the decline and disappearance of the true teaching.
