thig3.1:0.3Another Sāmā
thig3.1:1.1In the twenty-five years
thig3.1:1.2since I went forth,
thig3.1:1.3I don’t know that I had ever found
thig3.1:1.4serenity in my mind.
thig3.1:2.1I had failed to find peace of heart,
thig3.1:2.2or any control over my mind.
thig3.1:2.3When I remembered the victor’s instructions,
thig3.1:2.4I was struck with a sense of urgency.
thig3.1:3.1Though subject to so many painful things,
thig3.1:3.2I have, through my love of diligence,
thig3.1:3.3reached the ending of craving,
thig3.1:3.4and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.
thig3.1:3.5This is the seventh day
thig3.1:3.6since my craving dried up.
