Holy Buddha: Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta eBook: DOWNLOAD NOW: USD 10
The teaching known as the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta — The Setting in Motion of the Wheel of Dhamma — is the first discourse given by the Buddha after His Enlightenment. This profound sermon, delivered over 2,500 years ago at the Deer Park in Isipatana, near Benares, laid the foundation for all subsequent Buddhist teachings. It contains the heart of the Buddha’s realization: the Four Noble Truths and the Middle Way.
This eBook, Holy Buddha: Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, was created with deep reverence for the Dhamma and a sincere wish to share its wisdom with the modern world. It is intended for all spiritual seekers — whether new to the path or long-standing practitioners — who wish to understand the Buddha’s first words of truth and the path to liberation.
This sacred teaching not only began the Buddha’s teaching career but also marked the arising of the Triple Gem — the Buddha, the Dhamma (the Teaching), and the Sangha (the Community of Noble Disciples) — with the awakening of Venerable Aññā Koṇḍañña, the first arahant.
I have aimed to present the sutta in a fluent, accessible, and respectful English translation, followed by reflections, commentary, and practical insights. May the truths revealed in these pages help guide the hearts of readers toward peace, wisdom, and inner freedom.
May the Wheel of Dhamma continue to turn in this world,
and may all beings be free from suffering.
With deep devotion and compassion,
Som Maitri
