Chapter Three

Kaṇhadinna

I regularly sat close by true persons
and learnt the teaching.
What I learned, I practiced,
the direct route whose objective is freedom from death.

I’ve slain the desire for continued existence,
it won’t be found in me again.
It was not, and it won’t be in me,
and it isn’t found in me now.
