" I traveled through the rounds of countless births,
Seeking but not finding the builder of this house.
Sorrowful is birth again and again.
O Housebuilder, you have now been seen,
You will build no house again.
Your rafters [defilements] have been broken,
Your ridgepole [ignorance] shattered.
My mind has attained the unconditioned,
Achieved is the end of craving. "
