explained the Buddha's First Teaching, which was the Dhamma Cakkappavattana, or Zhuan Falun. As the First Dharma discourse given by the Buddha, the Zhuan Falun is considered the oldest and most understandable of the Buddha's Teachings. Few people, among the lay people of this Buddhist country of Myanmar (Burma), have not heard of the Zhuan Falun. There are many people who remember this sutra by heart. Almost everywhere, from the city to the countryside, people form groups of Buddhists under the name of "Reciting and Reading Zhuan Falun", to specialize in reciting and listening to that Sutta. In general, the followers of Buddhism attach great importance to this sutta because it is the First Dharma of the Blessed One. Currently there are many Nissaya or other forms of translation, explanation, and various interpretations of the Pāḷi Canon in Burma. But certainly there aren't any works that show specific practices from the Sutras and how ardent and sincere meditators who wish to attain the Path and Fruition can apply these methods. that law. This sutra has been explained in detail by us on several occasions, emphasizing its practical application to the study of meditation. We officially opened this Yangon Meditation Center with a lecture on the Zhuan Falun Sutra and here we have given it many times. Elsewhere, too, whenever a new Zen Center opens, we always use this sutta as an opening lecture. The Buddhist scriptures have three main parts called the Tripitaka or Ti Piṭaka in Pāḷi: 1. The Canon (Sutta Piṭaka); 2. Vinaya Piṭaka; (3) Abhidhamma Piṭaka (Abhidhamma Piṭaka). The Sutta of Turning the Wheel of Law is included in the Canon, which in turn is made up of the five Nikāyas (usually translated as 'the sets'), that is, the Dgha Nikāyas, the Majjhima Nikāyas, the Saṃyuttas. Nikaya); The Sangha (Aṅguttara Nikāya) and the Minor (Khuddaka Nikāya). The Samyutta Nikaya is divided into five products (vagga): (a) Sagāthāvagga (Product of Shelf) (b) Nidānavagga (Product of Dependent Origination) (c) Khandhavagga (Product of Aggregate) (d) Salāyatanavagga (Product of Six Foundations) (e) Mahāvagga (Great Product). The Mahāvagga (Great Product) is again divided into twelve skits such as Maggasaṃyutta, Bojjhaṅgasa (yutta, Satipaṃhānasa vvyutta, etc., the last of which is Satipahānasaṃyutta. (Saccāsaṃyutta). The Zhuan Falun appeared as the first discourse in the second chapter of the Samadhi of Truth skit, and it was precisely stated as such in the ceremony of the Sixth General Assembly. In it, the introduction to the sutta: "Evaṃ me suttaṃ, ekaṃ samayaṃ... Thus I heard: a time..." was sung by Mr. Ānandā when questioned by Venerable Ca-Diep (Mahākassapa) at the Great Gathering of the Patriarchate. just over three months after the passing away of the Buddha. Venerable Kassapa asked Venerable Ānandā: "Friend Ānandā, where is this Sutra on Turning the Wheel of Law taught? By whom, for whose benefit, and how? Venerable Ānandā replied, "Venerable Venerable Elder Kassapa. I heard like this. At one time the Blessed One was staying at the place of the Return of the Noble Ones, the Garden of Isipatana, (where Paccekabuddhas and Fully Enlightened Buddhas often descend from the sky), Deer Conservation Garden (Loc Gia Uyen), in the town of Benares. At that time, the Blessed One called the group of five bhikkhus and said: "Bhikkhus, there are two extremes that one who has left the worldly life and is living a monastic life should not practice."END=NAM-MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.30/6/2021.VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.
