Verses of the Senior Monks 2.48

The Book of the Twos

Chapter Five

Vajjita

1 Transmigrating for such a long time,

I’ve cycled through various states of rebirth,

not seeing the noble truths,

a blind, unenlightened person.

2 But when I became heedful,

transmigrations were mown down.

All states of rebirth are cut off;

now there’ll be no more future lives.
