Verses of the Elder Bhikkhunīs

Chapter of the Twos

Verses of the Elder Sāmā

“Four times, five times,

I went outside.

I had not attained peace of mind

and I had no power over the mind.

Amidst so much suffering,

I devoted myself to heedfulness.

It’s now been the eighth night

since craving has been uprooted.

I have obtained the destruction of craving

and completed the teaching of the Buddha.”
