Mudita

I went forth to save my life. But I embraced faith after receiving full ordination. I strove, strong in effort: Gladly, let this body be broken! Let this scrap of meat disintegrate! Let both my legs fall off at the knees! I won’t eat, I won’t drink, I won’t leave my dwelling, nor will I lie down on my side, until the dart of craving is plucked. As I meditate like this, see my energy and vigor! I’ve attained the three knowledges and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.
