Theragāthā
Verses of the Senior Monks
Chapter of the Twos
2.11. Mahācunda
It is from wishing to learn that learning grows;
When you are learned, understanding grows;
Through understanding, you know the goal;
Knowing the goal brings happiness.Make use of secluded lodgings!
Practice to be released from fetters!
If you don’t find enjoyment there,
Live in the Saṅgha, guarded and mindful.
