The Enlightenment of the Buddha’s First Disciple : หน้า 177/263

The Enlightenment of the Buddha’s First Disciple In preaching the Dhammackakapavattana Sutta, the Buddha revealed the Thirty-Seven Factors of Enlightenment [bodhipakkhiyadhamma], the Cycle of Dependent Origination and the Four Noble Truths as the hub, the spokes and the rim of the Dhammacakka respectively. Dhammacakas can be divided into two types: 1. Pativedhānānadhammacakka: The Personal Attainment of knowledge of the Four Noble Truths, the Three Cycles of Examination¹ [parivaggiæ]; and the Twelve Stages of the Cycle of Examination overcoming by transcending [samuccedapāhana] the enemy we call craving, giving rise to the Fruits of Sainthood [ariyaphala]. 2. Desanānānadhammacakka: Out of compassion, teaching for the benefit of one’s disciples (Añña-Koņdāña would be the first) the way to overcome craving by attainment of knowledge of the Four Noble Truths, the Three Cycles of examination and the Twelve Stages of the Cycle of Examination. ¹. i.e Saccaṇāpaņa, Kiccaṇāpaņa, Kataṇaņa (see overleaf) 175
