The Dawn of the Great Nirvana


“Also, next, oh good man! For example, as dusk falls, all stop working. A person whose work is not completed always waits for the dawn. Those who practice Mahayana practice all kinds of sutras and samadhis, but they always wait for the dawn of the Mahayana Great Nirvana Sutra. On hearing this undisclosed teaching of the Tathagata, they give rise to actions for Enlightenment, and then come to abide in the Wonderful Dharma. That's as in the case of the rain that falls from the sky upon all things, moistens them, benefits and develops them, and a rich harvest will result so that it does away with famine. The same is the case with the incredible abundance of undisclosed rain of the Dharma of the Tathagata. It indeed does away with fevers. The appearance of this sutra in the world is like the fruit which benefits and makes everyone happy, enabling to the beings see the Nature of the Tathagata.”
