Walt 2535-2536To give an aggaja blossom,
I approached the Ultimate Man,
the Golden-Colored Sambuddha,
Sikhi, who like a heap of fire
was shining forth his thousand rays
while sitting on a mountainside.
Happy, with pleasure in my heart,
I offered Buddha that flower. Verse 1-2Walt 2537 In the thirty-one aeons since
I did pūjā with that flower,
I’ve come to know no bad rebirth:
that’s the fruit of Buddha-pūjā. Verse 3Walt 2538 In the twenty-fifth aeon hence
I‘m known by the name Amita,
a wheel-turning king with great strength,
possessor of the seven gems. Verse 4Walt 2539 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
I have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 5
Thus indeed Venerable Aggapupphiya Thera spoke these verses.
The legend of Aggapupphiya Thera is finished.
