Verses of the Senior Monks

Chapter of the Fourteens

14.1. Khadiravaniyarevata

Since I’ve gone forth
From home life into homelessness,
I’m not aware of any intention
That is ignoble and hateful.

“May these beings be killed! May they be slaughtered!
May they suffer!”—
I’m not aware of having any such intentions
In all this long period of time.

I have been aware of loving-kindness,
Measureless and well-developed,
Gradually built up,
Just as the Buddha taught.

I’m friend and comrade to all,
Compassionate to all beings,
Developing a mind of loving-kindness,
And always delighting in harmlessness.

Immovable, unshakable,
I gladden the mind.
I develop the sublime abidings,
Which bad men do not cultivate.

Having entered a meditation state without thought,
A disciple of the Buddha
Is at that moment blessed
With noble silence.

Just like a rocky mountain
Is unshakable and firmly grounded;
So when delusion ends,
A monk, like a mountain, doesn’t tremble.

To the blameless man
Who is always seeking purity,
Even a hair-tip of evil
Seems the size of a cloud.

Just like a frontier city,
Is guarded inside and out,
So you should ward yourselves—
Don’t let the moment pass you by.

I don’t long for death;
I don’t long for life;
I await my time,
Like a worker waiting for their wages.

I don’t long for death;
I don’t long for life;
I await my time,
Aware and mindful.

I’ve attended on the teacher
And fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.
The heavy burden is laid down,
I’ve undone the attachment to being reborn in any state of existence.

I’ve attained the goal
For the sake of which I went forth
From home life into homelessness—
The ending of all fetters.

Strive on with heedfulness:
This is my advice.
Come, I’ll realise nibbāna
I’m liberated in every way.
