Whoever has become dispassionate
to passion, aversion, & ignorance,
crosses over this ocean,
with its danger of sharks, demons, waves,
so very hard to cross.
He’s one who has
overcome ties,
forsaken death,
abandoned suffering & stress,
is acquisition-free
with no further becoming.
Having gone to his end, he
has no measure,
has bewildered, I tell you,
Death’s king.
