Daily Words of the Buddha for April 16, 2018

Pāli Word a Day for April 16, 2018 — tiṇṇa — one who has reached the other shore (fig.), gone through, overcome, one who has attained nibbāna

Yassa nittiṇṇo paṅko,
Maddito kāmakaṇṭako,
Mohakkhayaṃ anuppatto
Sukhadukkhesu na vedhatī sa bhikkhū.

That bhikkhu who has crossed the mire,
Crushed the thorn of sensual desire,
And reached the destruction of delusion
Is not perturbed by pleasures and pains.

Udāna 3.22
The Udāna and the Itivuttaka, trans. John D. Ireland
