Verses of the Senior Monks 5.3
The Book of the Fives
Chapter One
Girimānanda
The heavens rain like a sweet song;
my hut is roofed and pleasant, sheltered from the wind.
I meditate there, peaceful:
so rain forth, heavens, if you wish.
The heavens rain like a sweet song;
my hut is roofed and pleasant, sheltered from the wind.
I meditate there, my mind at peace:
so rain forth, heavens, if you wish.
The heavens rain like a sweet song;
my hut is roofed and pleasant, sheltered from the wind.
I meditate there, free of greed:
so rain forth, heavens, if you wish.
The heavens rain like a sweet song;
my hut is roofed and pleasant, sheltered from the wind.
I meditate there, free of hate:
so rain forth, heavens, if you wish.
The heavens rain like a sweet song;
my hut is roofed and pleasant, sheltered from the wind.
I meditate there, free of delusion:
so rain forth, heavens, if you wish.
