Dharmacakra-nivartana-sutra

[Пламен]

Thus I heard.

Once upon a time in a distant virtual chat gathered bodhisattvas with mahasattvas, dakinis and other prajnaparamitic people to discuss the current issues of Dharma, and all felt overwhelmed by great confusion and hesitation. It happened so that at this noble gathering, the Athatramatra, the mahasattva temporarily performing the duties of Tathagata, was also present.

Bodhisattva Shadow Wolf stepped forward, made the required prostrations and after asking for a permission to speak, said:

"Tell us, o Prajnottama, what are we supposed to do with the Cakra. It has corroded and requires capital repair. Its composite parts are covered with the dust of oblivion. Tell us, o most noble Here-and-Now-Only, what is the gist of the Four Noble Parts and what is the Way to awaken people from their traffic illusions?"

The c/o Tathagata said:
"You speak the truth, Wolfy, righteous are your intentions. Here-and-Now-Only will give you the teaching of the Dharmacakra-nivartana-sutra, the Sutra of the Stopping of the Dharma-Wheel, so that all mahasattva-bodhisattvas could reach to the corresponding organizational consclusions.

First Noble Part: Sarvam Sukham, everything is happiness. Birth is happiness, old age is golden happiness, illness and death are happiness, co-existence with the pleasant and unpleasant is happiness, desire fulfilling and unfulfilling is happiness, in a word, everything that makes up this life is happiness.

Second Noble Part: Happiness has no cause.

Third Noble Part, about the cessation of happiness: Searching for causes and consequences brings happines to an end. Efforts and self-awareness put an end to happiness. Quest and striving make happiness cease.

Forth Noble Part: The One living in Happines does not travel. Happiness is a pathless state. Views, thinking, resolve, actions, livelihood, mindfulness and meditation are never correct or wrong. The One living in happiness does not strive to change his life.

If the good men and the good women understand and take these truths with their heart, their life will become sorrowless."

Having heard these words of utmost transcendental wisdom (anuttara-prajna), all bodhisattva with mahasattva, dakinis and other noble gentry rejoiced, thanked wholeheartedly the wise Athatramatra and dispersed in the eight directions to bring the good news to all creatures in the world. While the present Tathagata sat down under the Bodhi T. for a cup of jasmine tea.
