Inspiration from Enlightened Nuns

Inspiration from Enlightened Nuns is a collection of poems composed by the arahant bhikkhunisor enlightened Buddhist nuns. Most of the poems in the book come from the Therigatha, a small section of the vast Pali Canon. The actual poems exhibit a wide range in tone and subject matter. They were almost all spoken after the author had realized that rebirth and all its associated suffering had been brought to an end by the perfection of insight and total elimination of defilements. So virtually all the poems contain some form of lion?s roar, an exclamation that the author has become awakened.
