Verses of the Senior Monks 2.1
The Book of the Twos
Chapter One
Uttara (1st)
No life is permanent,
and no conditions last forever.
The aggregates are reborn
and pass away, again and again.
Knowing this danger,
I have no need for another life.
I’ve escaped all sensual pleasures,
and attained the ending of defilements.
That is how these verses were recited by the senior venerable Uttara.
