Peaceful, Untroubled and Unperturbed - Reflections on Verse 1054 from Parayanavagga 'Going Beyond' | Ajahn Dhammasiha
Inspired by Ajahn Moneyyo's recent recitation of the Pārāyanavagga' (Chapter on Going to the Further Shore in Suttanipāta), Ajahn Dhammasiha offers reflections on verse #1054, 'Puṇṇaka's Question'. In this verse, the Buddha provides his answer to Puṇṇaka's question: Who has truly gone beyond rebirth and old age? "Saṅkhāya lokasmi paroparāni, yass'iñjitaṃ natthi kuhiñci loke; Santo vidhūmo anīgho nirāso Atāri so jātijaranti brūmī ti." "Having contemplated all the highs and lows in this world, Who is perturbed by nothing in this world; Peaceful, no longer fuming, without worries, without longing, He has crossed beyond rebirth and old age, I declare." https://www.dhammagiri.net https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJw https://tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive https://open.spotify.com/show/0SHWfWEGkO8OAtSWNJlqyD https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dhammagiri-buddhist-podcasts/id1534539834 .
