The jewel of the wheel is deceptive; the Wheel of the Dharma is absolutely truthful. The jewel of the wheel increases the fire of the three poisons (triviṣāgni); the Wheel of the Dharma extinguishes the fire of the three poisons. The jewel of the wheel is impure; the Wheel of the Dharma is pure. [...]
