Chapter Four

Nitaka

Whose mind is like a rock,
steady, never trembling—
free of desire for desirable things,
not getting annoyed when things are annoying?
From where will suffering strike one
whose mind is developed like this?

My mind is like a rock,
steady, never trembling—
free of desire for desirable things,
not getting annoyed when things are annoying.
From where will suffering strike me
whose mind is developed like this?
