Verses of the Senior Monks 2.38

The Book of the Twos

Chapter Four

Nisabha

One who’s given up the five sensual titillations,
so pleasing and delightful,
and who’s left the home life out of faith—
let them make an end to suffering!

I don’t long for death;
I don’t long for life;
I await my time,
aware and mindful.
