Verses of the Elder Bhikkhunīs
Chapter of the Twos
Verses of the Elder Sāmā
“Four times, five times,
I went outside.
I had not attained peace of mind
and I had no power over the mind.
Amidst so much suffering,
I devoted myself to heedfulness.
It’s now been the eighth night
since craving has been uprooted.
I have obtained the destruction of craving
and completed the teaching of the Buddha.”
… The Elder Sāmā
