After a long rest, the Buddha began to plan what to do in the future. He thought: "Although the Dhamma is deep and will be difficult to understand for most people, there are some who only have a little craving. Such people may be able to accept the Dhamma. They are like the lotuses that extend their stalks from the bottom of the pond up in the air, to receive sunshine. So I should not hold this radiant truth a secret. I should make it known everywhere, so that all people can benefit from it."
