Summary of Originations

257.

All activities are impermanent, suffering and non-self, and conditioned;

Nibbāna and concept, are non-self - thus is the determination.

When the Buddha-moon has not arisen, when the Buddha-sun has not risen;

Of those phenomena of similar nature, not even the mere name is known.

Having done various difficult deeds, having fulfilled the perfections;

Great heroes arise, possessing vision, in the world with its Brahmās.

They teach the Good Teaching, bringing the destruction of suffering, conveying happiness;

The Resplendent One, the sage of the Sakyans, compassionate to all beings.

The lion, highest of all beings, taught the three Canons;

The discourses and the higher teaching, and the monastic discipline of great virtue.

Thus the Good Teaching is led forth, if the monastic discipline remains;

And the two analyses, the chapters and the matrix.

Like a garland bound by the thread of string, by the Supplement;

Of that very Supplement, the origination has been made certain.

Confusion and source and other things, are seen above in the discourse;

Therefore one who loves the Teaching, well-behaved, should train in the Supplement.
