Mettikā

from: The Book of the Twos

Mettikā

Though in pain,
feeble, my youth long gone,
I climb the mountain,
leaning on a staff.

Having laid down my outer robe
and overturned my bowl,
sitting on a rock,
my mind was freed.
I’ve attained the three knowledges,
and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.
