Verses of the Senior Monks 2.38
The Book of the Twos
Chapter Four
Nisabha
One who’s given up the five sensual stimuli,
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.
