Hello friends,
in reading the message about the First Sermon of the Buddha i began to wonder in which
order one should read the sutras ?
Any advice on that ?
And what would be nowadays the best translation in English ?
Thanks for your help !

Dear friends,

allow me to paraphrase:

In Anattalakkhana, his second sermon, the Buddha discussed non-self (anatta), impermanence (anicca). Together with dukkha from the first sutta, the doctrine of the trio of characteristics, tilakkhana - the Buddhist philosophical view of existence - is now complete.

metta,
Yong Peng.
