Verses of the Elder Bhikkhunīs
Chapter of the Ones
Verses of the Elder Saṅghā
“I left behind the house and went forth.
I left behind child, cattle, and all that is dear.
I left behind passion and aversion,
and I left behind ignorance—by means of dispassion.
Having pulled out craving by the roots,
I am quenched and at peace.”
… The Elder Saṅghā
The Chapter of the Ones is finished.
