Verses of the Senior Monks 2.18

The Book of the Twos

Chapter Two

Kimbila (2nd)

In the Eastern Bamboo Park
the Sakyan friends,
having given up great wealth,
are happy with the scraps in their bowls.

Energetic, resolute,
always staunchly vigorous;
having given up mundane delights,
they enjoy the delights of the Dhamma.
