Initially he wished to expound the One, but there was no capacity for the One; next he thought of expounding the provisional, which all buddhas praised, continuing up to: 'Śāriputra, you should know: / I heard the voice of the noble lion, / deep, pure, subtle, and wondrous, / praising "Namo to all buddhas." / I again had this thought: / "I have appeared in a turbid and evil world; / just as all buddhas have spoken, / I too shall act in accordance." / Having contemplated this matter, / I immediately proceeded to Vārāṇasī. / The quiescent characteristic of all dharmas / cannot be expressed in words; / by the power of upāya, / I expounded it for the five bhikṣus. / This is called turning the wheel of the Dharma; / thereupon there was the sound of nirvāṇa', and so forth. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 17.88](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.17.88) - [Next: 17.90](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.17.90) - [Up: 17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.17) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736~en-mt.17.89) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.17.89](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1736.17.89) · Pramāṇa
