Ratana Sutta
Verse 14
Khīnam purānam
navam natthi sambhavam
Viratta cittā āyatike bhavasmim
Te khīnabījā avirūlhicchandā
Nibbanti dhīrā yathā’yam padīpo
Idam pi sanghe ratanam panītam
Etena saccena suvatthi hotu
navam natthi sambhavam
Viratta cittā āyatike bhavasmim
Te khīnabījā avirūlhicchandā
Nibbanti dhīrā yathā’yam padīpo
Idam pi sanghe ratanam panītam
Etena saccena suvatthi hotu
Their past is extinct, a new becoming
there is not,
their minds are not attached to a future birth, their desires do not grow;
those wise ones with their seeds of
becoming destroyed,
go out even as this lamp does.
In the Sangha is this precious jewel found.
On account of this truth, may there be well-being!
