| This occurs when the two bhikkhu brothers question the Buddha on the appropriateness of using local languages for the exposition of the dhamma. |
| In contrast to this dominant view the Buddha sought to proclaim the dhamma universally once he had resolved the problem whether to proclaim it at all. |
| Primarily because I know it is only a momentary dhamma, a reality. |
| To announce the start of the event, we would play a tape of traditional music or dhamma, monks' recitations. |
| Some have thought that this dhamma was identical with Buddhism but, though informed by Buddhist morality, it was essentially the emperor's own. |
| Before a dhamma eventuates it does not yet obtain an intrinsic nature and when it ceases it is denuded of this intrinsic nature. |
