Jentattheragāthā

Jenta

“Duppabbajjaṁ ve duradhivāsā gehā,
Going forth is hard; living at home is hard;

Dhammo gambhīro duradhigamā bhogā;
Dhamma is profound; money is hard to come by.

Kicchā vutti no itarītareneva,
Getting by is difficult for we <j>who accept whatever comes,

Yuttaṁ cintetuṁ satatamaniccatan”ti.
so we should always think about impermanence.

… Jento thero ….
