dhp90:0.2Sayings of the Dhamma 90–99
dhp90:0.37. The Perfected Ones
dhp90:1At journey’s end, rid of sorrow;
dhp90:2everywhere free,
dhp90:3all ties given up,
dhp90:4no fever is found in them.
dhp91:1The mindful apply themselves;
dhp91:2they delight in no abode.
dhp91:3Like a swan gone from the marsh,
dhp91:4they leave home after home behind.
dhp92:1Those with nothing stored up,
dhp92:2who have understood their food,
dhp92:3whose domain is the liberation
dhp92:4of the signless and the empty:
dhp92:5their path is hard to trace,
dhp92:6like birds in the sky.
dhp93:1One whose defilements have ended;
dhp93:2who’s not attached to food;
dhp93:3whose domain is the liberation
dhp93:4of the signless and the empty:
dhp93:5their track is hard to trace,
dhp93:6like birds in the sky.
dhp94:1Whose faculties have become serene,
dhp94:2like horses tamed by a charioteer,
dhp94:3who has abandoned conceit and defilements;
dhp94:4the unaffected one is envied by even the gods.
dhp95:1Undisturbed like the earth,
dhp95:2true to their vows, steady as Indra’s pillar,
dhp95:3like a lake clear of mud;
dhp95:4such a one does not transmigrate.
dhp96:1Their mind is peaceful,
dhp96:2peaceful are their speech and deeds.
dhp96:3Such a one is at peace,
dhp96:4rightly freed through enlightenment.
dhp97:1Lacking faith, a house-breaker,
dhp97:2one who acknowledges nothing,
dhp97:3purged of hope, they’ve wasted their chance:
dhp97:4that is indeed the supreme person!
dhp98:1Whether in village or wilderness,
dhp98:2in a valley or the uplands,
dhp98:3wherever the perfected ones live
dhp98:4is a delightful place.
dhp99:1Delightful are the wildernesses
dhp99:2where no people delight.
dhp99:3Those free of greed will delight there,
dhp99:4not those who seek sensual pleasures.
