Hello there!
Dear D&D members, do you know sutta references for the fact that Buddha discovered Dhamma that is always there and not invented it?
Is the only reference famous “Svakkhato Bhagavata dhammo sanditthiko akaliko ehipassiko opanayiko paccattam vedittabbo vinnuhiti.” or is there more?
I have an idea that we can say he discovered it based on “akaliko” that it is timeless. But I heard Ajahn Punnadhammo saying that all Buddhas are discovering the same Dhamma and that Dhamma is always there, no matter if there are Buddhas or not. Are there canonical reference for this?
Thank you!
