SNP5.16 — The Questions of the Young Man Mogharāja

---

Twice I asked the Sakyan,

(said the Venerable Mogharāja)

but the One with Vision did not answer me.

Yet I have heard that a divine seer

answers by the third time.

This world, the next world,

and the Brahmā world with its devas,

do not comprehend the vision

of the renowned Gotama.

So I have come with a question

for one of such supreme vision:

Looking upon the world in what way

does the King of Death not see one?

Look upon the world as empty,

Mogharāja, always mindful.

Uprooting the view of self,

one crosses beyond death.

Looking upon the world in this way,

the King of Death does not see one.
