Verses of the Senior Monks 5.3 The Book of the Fives Chapter One Girimānanda The heavens rain like a sweet song; my hut is roofed and pleasant, sheltered from the wind. I meditate there, peaceful: so rain forth, heavens, if you wish. The heavens rain like a sweet song; my hut is roofed and pleasant, sheltered from the wind. I meditate there, my mind at peace: so rain forth, heavens, if you wish. The heavens rain like a sweet song; my hut is roofed and pleasant, sheltered from the wind. I meditate there, free of greed: so rain forth, heavens, if you wish. The heavens rain like a sweet song; my hut is roofed and pleasant, sheltered from the wind. I meditate there, free of hate: so rain forth, heavens, if you wish. The heavens rain like a sweet song; my hut is roofed and pleasant, sheltered from the wind. I meditate there, free of delusion: so rain forth, heavens, if you wish.
