Summary
This is the Fire Sermon in female-centric language (that is, using "she" instead of "he" or the singular "they", and changing the verbs to fit "she" instead of "they"). It is the same as the text of the Fire Sermon as translated for SuttaCentral by Bhikkhu Sujato, published there in 2018, and dedicated to the public domain via Creative Commons Zero (CC0), except that this new version is in female-centric language, and that Bhikkhu Sujato used the title "Burning" and I am using the title "Women's Fire Sermon".Since the Fire Sermon is also known as the Ādittapariyāya Sutta (Pali, "Fire Sermon Discourse"), this new version can also be considered the Ādittapariyāya Sutta in female-centric language, and the Fire Sermon Discourse in female-centric language.How is this fanfiction? Because it is fiction based on what the Buddha (supposedly) said; that is, it is fiction based on this premise: What if the Buddha spoke the Fire Sermon in female-centric language? What if the mendicants the Buddha was speaking to were all women, and he acknowledged that by saying "she" instead of "he" or the singular "they" in his sermon?
