Beschreibung
The Dhammacakkappavattana-sutta, the Turning of the Wheel of Dhamma is a great discourse preached by the Awakened One as the first of his teachings to the world in the presence of the five ascetics, pañcavaggiya at the deer park Isipatana near Benares. In this discourse, the Lord Buddha revealed the truth that no ordinary beings are capable of realizing by themselves. Fundamentally, this sutta reveals the predicament of unsatisfactoriness (dukkha) and its hidden cause, the craving for sensory pleasures and then, he pointed out the cessation of unsatisfactoriness and the path leading to its cessation. The significant fact is that the Lord Buddha preached this discourse based on the general theory of causality or idappaccayata in terms of suffering and the causes of suffering. We cannot grasp this theory in a superficial reading of the discourse because this sutta does not directly discuss the theory of causality but the four noble truths.
