Thag 2.26 — Punnamasa

translated from the Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

Punnamasa (Thag 2.26) {Thag 171-172}  

Shedding five hindrances so as to reach the unexcelled rest from the yoke, taking the Dhamma as mirror for knowing & seeing myself, I reflected on this body — the whole thing, inside & out, my own & others'. How vain & empty it looked!
