beating the drum of deathlessness
in a world gone blind."

Setting in Motion the Wheel of the Dhamma

Translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi

 


 

Foundation of the Kingdom of Righteousness

Translated by Rhys Davids

From the Rhys Davids Introduction:

"It would be difficult to estimate too highly the historical value of this Sutta. There can be no reasonable doubt that the very ancient tradition accepted by all Buddhists as to the substance of the discourse is correct, and that we really have in it a summary of the words in which the great Indian thinker and reformer for the first time successfully promulgated his new ideas. And it presents to us in a few short and pithy sentences the very essence of that remarkable system which has had so profound an influence on the religious history of so large a portion of the human race."

There you are, then, Beggars! I craft this counsel for you:

The own-made is a flighty thing, I say
get yourselves out of this sputtering madness!

 

This was the final word of the Tathāgata.
