The Mass of Gold: a past life story
“Yo pahaṭṭhena cittena,
He whose heart is well-forged,
pahaṭṭhamanaso naro;
a man of cheerful mind,
Bhāveti kusalaṁ dhammaṁ,
develops skilful qualities
yogakkhemassa pattiyā;
for the sake of sanctuary from the yoke.
Pāpuṇe anupubbena,
Gradually he would attain
sabbasaṁyojanakkhayan”ti.
the ending of all fetters.
Kañcanakkhandhajātakaṁ chaṭṭhaṁ.
