Homage to the Dhamma
Svakkhato
Bhagavata dhammo sanditthiko akaliko ehipassiko opanayiko paccattam vedittabbo
vinnuhiti.
"Svakkhato" The Dhamma taught by the
Blessed One is Excellent in the beginning, Excellent in the middle and
Excellent in the end - all of Buddha's Discourses are consistent and teach the
same truth.
"Sanditthika"
Dhamma is
self-evident and can be understood in this life itself.
"Akaliko" Dhamma, Noble
Truths, cannot be changed nor can they be altered over time.
"Ehipassiko" "come and
see"; Buddha's Dhamma is to be
investigated.
"Opanayika" Dhamma can only be
understood by oneself.
"Paccattam
vedittabbo vinnuhiti" Dhamma is for the
wise to understand and realize.

Bhagavato savakasangho. Samicipatipanno Bhagavato savakasangho. Yadidam cattari
purisayugani attha purisapuggala esa Bhagavato savakasangho. Ahuneyyo pahuneyyo

"Ujupatipanno" They follow the

In Buddha’s
Order are the 8 kinds of individuals: the one striving to Enter the Stream of
the Noble Path, the one who has entered the Stream; the one striving to attain
the position of Once-Returner, the Once-Returner; the one striving to reach the
Non- returner position, the Non-Returner; the one striving for Arahantship and
the Arahant. A field of merit is the supreme Sangha, worthy of
gifts, worthy of hospitality, worthy of respect and worship.
