Dhammaniyāma Sutta
I have heard that at one time
the Blessed One was staying
in Savatthi at Jeta’s Grove, Anathapindika’s park.
There he addressed the monks, saying, “Monks.”
“Yes, lord,” the monks responded to him.
The Blessed One said,
“Whether or not there is the arising of Tathagatas,
This property stands – this steadfastness of the Dhamma",
This orderliness of the Dhamma:
"All processes are inconstant"
The Tathagata directly awakens to that,
breaks through to that
Directly awakening and breaking through to that,
he declares it, teaches it, describes it, sets it forth.
He reveals it, explains it, And makes it plain:
"All processes are impermanent."
"Whether or not there is the arising of Tathagatas,
This property stands – this
steadfastness of the Dhamma",
This orderliness of the Dhamma:
All processes are stressfull.
The Buddha directly awakens to that,
breaks through to that
Directly awakening and breaking through to that,
He declares it, teaches it, describes it, sets it forth.
He reveals it, explains it, and makes it plain:
"All processes are stressfull."
"Whether or not there is the arising of the Buddhas
This property stands this steadfastness of the dhamma," This orderliness of the dhamma
"All phenomena are not self"
The Buddha directly awakens to that, breaks through to that
Directly awakening and breaking through to that
He declares it teaches it, describes it, set it forth
He reveals it, explains it,And makes it plain:
"All phenomena are not-self"
That is what the Blessed One said.
Glad at heart,
The monks delighted at his words.
