Jentā

Jentātherīgāthā

from: The Book of the Twos

Jentā

Of the seven awakening factors,
the path for attaining extinguishment,
I have developed them all,
just as the Buddha taught.

For I have seen the Blessed One,
and this bag of bones is my last.
Transmigration through births is finished,
now there’ll be no more future lives.

That is how these verses were recited by the senior nun Jentā.
