[617] "This is the noble truth (ariyasacca) of the origin (samudaya) of suffering (dukkha)": in regard to dhammas unheard before, vision (cakkhu) arose … light (āloka) arose. "This noble truth of the origin of suffering is to be abandoned" … "has been abandoned": in regard to dhammas unheard before, vision arose … light arose. In what sense did "vision arise"? … In what sense did "light arise"? "Vision arose" in the sense of seeing; … "light arose" in the sense of illumination.
Vision is the dhamma; seeing is the meaning (attha) … Light is the dhamma; illumination is the meaning. These five dhammas and five meanings have origin as their basis and truth as their basis … have cessation (nirodha) as their basis, have the path (magga) as their basis, have truth as their basis; they have truth as their object, truth as their domain; they are included in truth, comprised within truth; they have come together in truth, they stand in truth, they are established in truth.
"Wheel of Dhamma (dhammacakka)": in what sense is it the Wheel of Dhamma? He sets in motion both the Dhamma and the wheel: thus it is the Wheel of Dhamma. He sets in motion both the wheel and the Dhamma: thus it is the Wheel of Dhamma. He sets it in motion by means of the Dhamma: thus it is the Wheel of Dhamma. He sets it in motion by righteous conduct (dhammacariyā): thus it is the Wheel of Dhamma. Standing in the Dhamma, he sets it in motion: thus it is the Wheel of Dhamma. Established in the Dhamma, he sets it in motion: thus it is the Wheel of Dhamma. … Nibbāna, which merges in the deathless, is Dhamma in the sense of being the culmination; he sets that Dhamma in motion: thus it is the Wheel of Dhamma.
