THE BUDDHA

Through many a birth

I wandered in samsara

(rounds of rebirth),

seeking, but not finding,

the builder of the house.

Sorrowful is it to be born

again and again.

O House-Builder,

you are seen!

You shall build

no house again.

All your rafters are broken.

Your ridge-pole is shattered.

My mind has attained

the Unconditioned.

Achieved is

the end of craving.
