Samiddhittheragāthā

Samiddhi

“Saddhāyāhaṁ pabbajito,
I went forth out of faith

Agārasmānagāriyaṁ;
from the lay life to homelessness.

Sati paññā ca me vuḍḍhā,
My mindfulness and wisdom have grown,

Cittañca susamāhitaṁ;
my mind is serene.

Kāmaṁ karassu rūpāni,
Make whatever illusions you want,

Neva maṁ byādhayissasī”ti.
it doesn’t bother me.

… Samiddhitthero ….
