Verses of the Senior Nuns 3.3

The Book of the Threes

Another Uttamā

Of the seven awakening factors,

the path for attaining extinguishment,

I have developed them all,

just as the Buddha taught.

I attain the meditations on emptiness

and signlessness whenever I want.

I am the Buddha’s rightful daughter,

always delighting in extinguishment.

All sensual pleasures are cut off,

whether human or heavenly.

Transmigration through births is finished,

now there’ll be no more future lives.
