They look like blue-black storm clouds, glistening,
Cooled with the waters of clear-flowing streams,
And covered with ladybird beetles:
These rocky crags delight me!
(Verses of The Senior Monks, tr. Bhikkhu Sujato & Jessica Walton)
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
My hut is roofed, comfortable,
free of drafts;
my mind, well-centered,
released.
I remain ardent.
So, rain-deva.
Go ahead & rain.
(Thag 1:1 Subhūti)
Even with all the whistles & whistling,
the calls of the birds,
this, my mind, doesn’t waver,
for my delight is in
oneness.
(Thag 1:49 Rāmaṇeyyaka)
With clear waters &
massive boulders,
frequented by monkeys &
deer,
covered with moss &
water weeds:
Those rocky crags refresh me.
(Thag 1:113 Vanavaccha)
When the Cool Forest’s in full flower,
in a cool mountain gorge,
having bathed my limbs
I’ll walk back & forth
alone.
…
While soft breezes blow—
cool,
heavily, fragrantly scented—
I’ll make ignorance burst,
as I sit on a mountaintop.
In the forest covered with blossoms
or perhaps on a cool hillside,
blessed with the bliss of release,
on Giribbaja I’ll delight.
(Thag 10:2 Ekavihāriya)
