Verses of the Senior Monks 3.13 The Book of the Threes Chapter One Abhibhūta Listen up, all my relatives, those who have gathered here: I’ll teach you Dhamma! Painful is birth again and again. Rouse yourselves, try harder! Devote yourselves to the instructions of the Buddha! Crush the army of death, as an elephant a hut of reeds. Whoever shall meditate diligently in this teaching and training, giving up transmigration, will make an end to suffering.
