Translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu. For free distribution only.
Life comes to an end.
The span of mortals runs out, like the water of a piddling stream. So, discerning, don't make acquisitions. May I never lie with my head cracked open again. Valliya What needs to be done with firm persistence, what needs to be done by someone who hopes for Awakening, that I will do. I will not fail.
