Theragāthā
Verses of the Senior Monks
Chapter of the Twos
2.38. Nisabha
One who has gone forth from the home life out of faith,
Leaving behind the five kinds of sensual pleasures,
So pleasant seeming, delighting the mind—
Let them put an end to suffering.I don’t long for death;
I don’t long for life;
I await my time,
Aware and mindful.
