Theragāthā

Verses of the Senior Monks

Chapter of the Twos

2.1. Uttara

No life is permanent,
And no conditions last forever.
The aggregates are reborn
And pass away, again and again.

Knowing this danger,
I’m not interested in being reborn into any state of existence.
I’ve escaped all sensual pleasures,
And attained the end of defilements.
