Hakuin's Daruma
translated by Kasyapa Matanga （迦葉摩騰） and Gobharana （竺法蘭）original

Introduction:
This text was said to be the first official Buddhist literature which was
composed for the Chinese by two early Indian missionaries, Kashyapa Matanga
and Gobharana, during the reign of Emperor Ming（明帝） of the Later Han
Dynasty （后汉）. The translators extracted all the passages from different
Buddhism scriptures which they brought along for their missionary purposes.
It was complied after the fashion of the Confucian Analects to suit the
Chinese and therefore each section begins with "The Buddha said" which
corresponds to the Confucian "Confucius said". It was therefore specially
prepared for the Chinese Buddhists and it contains a good collection of
moral and religious sayings of the Buddha.
The main text:
When the World-Honoured One had become Enlightened, he reflected thus, "To
be free from the passions and to be calm, this is the most excellent Way."
He was absorbed in Great Meditation, subdued all evil ones and later in the
Deer Park caused to turn the Wheel of Dharma, which consisted of the Four
Noble Truths:
1. Life is Suffering.
2. Ignorance is the cause of Suffering.
3. The Cessation of Suffering which is the goal of life as it transcends
pains and pleasure.
4. The Way to Cessation of Suffering is the Noble Eightfold Path which
consists of:
(1) Right Understanding
(2) Right Thoughts
(3) Right Speech
(4) Right Action
(5) Right Livelihood
(6) Right Effort
(7) Right Mindfulness
(8) Right Concentration.
