Verses of the Senior Monks 3.14 The Book of the Threes Chapter One Gotama (2nd) Transmigrating, I went to hell, and to the ghost realm time and again. Many times I dwelt long in the animal realm, so full of pain. I was also reborn as a human, and from time to time I went to heaven. I’ve stayed in realms of luminous form and formlessness, among the neither-percipient-nor-non-percipient, and the non-percipient. I know well these created states are insubstantial— conditioned, quivering, always in motion. When I understood that this is created in myself, mindful, I found peace.
