(Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta) The Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, the Great Discourse
on the Turning of the Wheel of Dhamma, is the Buddha’s First Sermon. Being the First Sermon, it is the most ancient and straightforward of the Buddha’s teachings. Rare is the person, amongst the laity of a Buddhist country such as Burma, who has not heard of this discourse, and many are those who have committed it to memory. There are religious groups, known as “Wheel of Dhamma Reciting Societies,” in almost every town and village in Burma, set up to recite and listen to the Sutta.
Buddhist followers regard this Sutta with great esteem and veneration. (From the Sayādaw’s own Introduction) |
