When the sun or the moon appear in the heavens there is a shining forth of great light, a glow of brightness. Then there is no more gloom or darkness, obscurity or blackness, and day and night, weeks, months and seasons become apparent. Likewise, when the Tathagata appears in the world there is a shining forth of great light, a glow of brightness. Then there is no more gloom or darkness, obscurity or blackness. Then there is a proclaiming of the Four Noble Truths, a teaching and declaring of them, a making them known, an establishing of them and a making them clear. S.V,442.
