The Six Qualities of the Dhamma
The Dhamma is:
- Svakkhato Bhagavata Dhammo - well-proclaimed by the Blessed One,
- Sanditthiko - self-realized,
- Akaliko - followed by fruit without delay (of immediate result),
- Ehipassiko - worthy of the invitation "Come and see",
- Opaneyyiko - brought to oneself,
- Paccattam Veditabbo Vinnuhi - realized by the wise each for himself.
The Dhamma can be listened, studied, practiced and realized with great honor and adoration by those, not by ordinary person - but by the ones who accumulated meritorious deeds, who wish to enjoy peace and happiness. It is so valuable that it cannot be appraised and incomparable and superior to any other worldly treasure. But it is extremely difficult to come across, to listen and to learn because the Dhamma is available to us only when a Buddha appears.
