Jenta Jentattheragāthā

Going forth is hard; living at home is hard; “Duppabbajjaṁ ve duradhivāsā gehā, Dhamma is profound; money is hard to come by. Dhammo gambhīro duradhigamā bhogā; Getting by is difficult for we
who accept whatever comes,
Kicchā vutti no itarītareneva,
so we should always think about impermanence. Yuttaṁ cintetuṁ satatamaniccatan”ti.
