The Buddha said to him: \u201cHouseholder, when the mind is unprotected, deeds of body, speech, and mind are unprotected. When deeds are unprotected, they fester. When deeds fester, they become rotten. Someone whose deeds of body, speech, and mind are rotten will not have a good death. It\u2019s like a bungalow with a bad roof. The roof peak, rafters, and walls are unprotected. They fester, and become rotten. In the same way, when the mind is unprotected, bodily, verbal, and mental deeds are unprotected. \u2026 Someone whose deeds of body, speech, and mind are rotten will not have a good death.
