[dic] appamāda (appamada)

appamāda: appa+pamāda; conscious, heedfulness, 'eagerness in regard of having the results of actions, good and bad, in mind'.

The Buddhas last words:

Appamadena sampadetha!SN 6.15

ATI Glossary

appamāda: Heedfulness; diligence; zeal. The cornerstone of all skillful mental states, and one of such fundamental import that the Buddha's stressed it in his parting words to his disciples: “All fabrications are subject to decay. Bring about completion by being heedful!” (appamādena sampādetha). [ more ]

 

Buddhist Dictionary

by late Ven. Nyanalokita Thera:

appamāda: 'zeal', non-laxity, earnestness, diligence, is considered as the foundation of all progress.

“Just as all the footprints of living beings are surpassed by the footprint of the elephant, and the footprint of the elephant is considered as the mightiest amongst them, just so have all the meritorious qualities zeal as their foundation, and zeal is considered as the mightiest of these qualities” AN 10.15

Cf. the Chapter on Zeal (Appamāda Vagga) in Dhp., and the Buddha's last exhortation: “Transient are all formations. Strive zealously!” (appamādena sampādetha: DN 16) - In the commentaries, it is often explained as the presence (lit. 'non-absence') of mindfulness (satiyā avippavāsa).
