THE SUTRA OF THE WHEEL OF DHARMA
New Stay At Home Sunday Class
In the ‘Sutra of the Wheel of Dharma’, the Buddha speaks of having first comprehended suffering and then relinquished it.
His Holiness quoted a verse by Nagarjuna,
|
Through the elimination of karma and mental afflictions there is liberation;
Karma and mental afflictions come from conceptual thoughts;
These come from mental exaggeration;
Exaggeration ceases through emptiness.
|
He clarified that it is due to our misconception of true existence that suffering arises, but we will not overcome this by offering lamps or performing rituals.
It’s analyzing and thinking about dependent arising that enables us to overturn these misconceptions.
Nagarjuna praised the Buddha for teaching how to overcome wrong views.
Je Tsongkhapa praised him for teaching about dependent arising.
