Verses of the Elder Bhikkhunīs Chapter of the Threes Verses of the Elder Uttamā “Four times, five times, I went outside. I had not attained peace of mind and I had no power over the mind. I approached a bhikkhunī whom I trusted. She taught me the Dhamma: the khandhas, elements, and sense domains. I listened to her Dhamma, followed her instructions, and sat cross-legged for seven days, dedicated to bliss and happiness. On the eighth day I stretched out my feet, having destroyed this mass of darkness.” The Elder Uttamā
