Unveiling the First Sermon: Analysis of the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta
posts
The Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, known in Thai as the “ปฐมเทศนา” or First Sermon, stands at the very foundation of Buddhist teaching. Delivered by the Buddha to the five ascetics at Isipatana (present-day Sarnath, India) just seven weeks after his enlightenment, this moment marks the symbolic “turning of the Wheel of Dhamma.” Understanding the content and significance of this sermon is vital for anyone wishing to grasp the essence of Buddhism and its transformative impact on Thai culture, education, and society (Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta - Wikipedia).
