# Valliya

Translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.

For free distribution only.

What needs to be done
with firm persistence,
what needs to be done
by someone who hopes for Awakening,
that I will do.
I will not fail.
See: persistence and striving!

You show me the path:
the straight,
the plunge into Deathlessness.
I, through sagacity,
will reach it, know it,
as the stream of the Ganges,
the sea.
