Four times, five, I ran amok from my dwelling,
having gained no peace of awareness,
my thoughts out of control.

So I went to a trustworthy nun.
She taught me the Dhamma:
aggregates, sense spheres, & elements.

Hearing the Dhamma,
I did as she said.
For seven days I sat in one spot,
absorbed in rapture & bliss.
On the eighth, I stretched out my legs,
having burst the mass
of darkness.
