Verses of the Senior Monks 2.36
The Book of the Twos
Chapter Four
Nitaka

steady, never trembling—
free of desire for desirable things,
not getting annoyed when things are annoying?

steady, never trembling—
free of desire for desirable things,
not getting annoyed when things are annoying.
From where will suffering strike me
whose mind is developed like this?
