Peaceful, Untroubled and Unperturbed - Reflections on Verse 1054 from Parayanavagga 'Going Beyond' | Ajahn Dhammasiha

Inspired by Ajahn Moneyyo's recent recitation of the Pārāyanavagga' (Chapter on Going to the Further Shore in Suttanipāta), Ajahn Dhammasiha offers reflections on verse #1054, 'Puṇṇaka's Question'.

In this verse, the Buddha provides his answer to Puṇṇaka's question:

Who has truly gone beyond rebirth and old age?

"Saṅkhāya lokasmi paroparāni,

yass'iñjitaṃ natthi kuhiñci loke;

Santo vidhūmo anīgho nirāso

Atāri so jātijaranti brūmī ti."

"Having contemplated all the highs and lows in this world,

Who is perturbed by nothing in this world;

Peaceful, no longer fuming, without worries, without longing,

He has crossed beyond rebirth and old age, I declare."
