from: The Book of the Ones

An Unnamed Nun (1st)

Homage to him, the blessed one, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha!

Sleep softly, little nun,
wrapped in the cloth you sewed yourself;
for your desire has been quelled,
like vegetables boiled dry in a pot.

That is how this verse was recited by a certain unnamed nun.
