Verses of the Senior Monks 2.11
The Book of the Twos
Chapter Two
Mahācunda
It’s from eagerness to learn that learning grows;
when you’re learned, wisdom grows;
by wisdom, you know the goal;
knowing the goal brings happiness.
You should frequent remote lodgings
and practice to be released from fetters.
If you don’t find enjoyment there,
live in the Saṅgha, self-protected and mindful.
