There are six supreme qualities of Dhamma:
“Svākkhāto bhagavatā dhammo sandiṭṭhiko akāliko ehipassiko opaneyyiko paccattaṃ veditabbo viññūhī’ti“
First, Bhagavathā Dhammō is the Dhamma taught by the Buddha.
Svākkhāto – leads to the removal of sansaric suffering via getting out of the 31 realms. Here “svakkata” (“sva” for “self” and “akkata” or “akrutha” or “akriya” means putting out of action) means getting rid of the concept of a “me” (asmai māna). It is not about whether a “self” exists or not; it is rather to realize that nothing in this world is worth to be considered “mine”.
Sandiṭṭhika – It allows one to comprehend “san” (“san” + “diṭṭhi“), the key reason for the existence in this world; see, “What is “San”? Meaning of Sansara (or Samsara)“.
Akalikō – This Dhamma does not change over time; it is the same Dhamma that is delivered by all Buddhas (“a” + “kālika“). Another meaning is that it leads to the removal of darkness (due to avijjā); here “kalu” means “black” or “darkness”.
ehipassikō – “Ehi” + “passika” or defilements can be removed (“passika“) when each ärammana comes to the mind (“Ehi“). One does not wait to remove defilements in a formal meditation session. Rather, one takes care of that at each instant when an immoral thought comes to the mind (with Ānāpānasati or Satipaṭṭhāna). See, “Is Ānāpānasati Breath Meditation?“
ōpanayikō – “Ōpa” + “naikō“, where “Ōpa” means “upata” or “origins” and “nyāya” means the principle or nature. Thus it means one can comprehend how each existence (bhava and jati) arises.
Paccattam_vedittabbō_vinnuhi - “paccayā” can be understood by looking at the origins (veda or vedic): vedittabbō. “Vinnu” means the hidden can be seen (like something hidden in a vessel by piercing it). Anything in this world arises due to Paṭicca Samuppāda. Thus, Dhamma allows one to “see-through” how this whole world, together with all the suffering arises.
