Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta
The Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta is one of the most important discourses in Buddhism, delivered by Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, shortly after his enlightenment. This sutta marks the beginning of the Buddha's teaching and introduces the core concepts of the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path, which outline the nature of suffering and the path to liberation.
In this discourse, the Buddha explains how understanding and practicing these teachings can lead to the cessation of suffering. The sutta emphasizes the importance of moderation and mindfulness, guiding practitioners toward achieving Nirvana, the ultimate goal in Buddhism.
