[620] **"Who taught me the Dhamma"** — "Who": that Blessed One, the Self-Arisen One (sayambhū), without a teacher, who by himself fully awakened to the truths in dhammas unheard of before, and therein attained omniscience and mastery over the powers. **"Taught the Dhamma"** — "the Dhamma": the holy life (brahmacariya) that is good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with its meaning and its phrasing, entirely complete and pure; the four establishments of mindfulness (satipaṭṭhāna), the four right exertions (sammappadhāna), the four bases for success (iddhipāda), the five faculties (indriya), the five powers (bala), the seven factors of awakening (bojjhaṅga), the noble eightfold path (magga), Nibbāna, and the practice leading to Nibbāna — this he declared, taught, made known, established, disclosed, analyzed, elucidated, and proclaimed. Hence, "who taught me the Dhamma."
