Dhamma Facts (20)

Udana (Inspired Utterance [after] Self-Awakening)
 
Anekajatisamsaram, sandhavissam anibbisam;
gahakaram gavesanto, dukkha jati punappunam.
I, who have been seeking the builder of this house (body), failing to attain Enlightenment (Bodhi nana or Sabbannuta nana) which would enable me to find him, have wandered through innumerable births in samsara. To be born again and again is, indeed, dukkha!

Gahakaraka ditthosi, puna geham na kahasi;
sabba te phasuka bhagga, gahakotam visankhatam;
visankharagatam cittam, tanhanam khayamajjhaga.
Oh house-builder! You are seen, you shall build no house (for me) again. All your rafters are broken, your roof-tree is destroyed. My mind has reached the unconditioned (i.e., Nibbana); the end of craving (Arahatta Phala) has been attained.
