The Sermon called The wheel of Damma

‘Blood may become exhausted, flesh may decay, bones may fall apart, but I will never leave this place until I find the way to Enlightenment.’ He said to himself.

“»z‰ ~‹¼µ x£ ƒ¥Y; v~ˆ ´xþ x£ ƒ¥Y; R¥fYf§ ï¼µ x£ ƒ¥Y; Al‰... t¨nŠol‰{x R{»t£‰o Yy [¥ì»K v£M[x »~£x£[p‰p£ lªy¥v.. vv »vl¥ëp‰ »p£p¥[ŒÑñx‹“ Xƒ¨ lv£f v Ãx£ [l‰»l‰ x.

It was an intense and incomparable struggle for him. When the morning star appeared in the eastern sky, the struggle was over, and the prince’s mind was as clear and bright as the breaking day. He had at last, found the path to Enlightenment. The prince became Buddha, at thirty five years of age.

From this time on the prince was known by different names: Some spoke of him as Buddha, perfectly Enlightened one, Tathagatha; some spoke of him as Shakyamuni, the sage of the Shakya clan; others called him the world’s honoured one:

Then he went to Migadaya in Baranasa (Varanasi) where the five mendicants who had lived with him during the six years of his ascetic life.
At first they shunned him, but after they had talked with him, they believed in him and became his first followers.

He then went to the ‘Rajagaha’ castle and won over king Bimbisara who had always been his close friend. From there he went about the country living on alms and teaching men to accept his way of life.
Men responded to him as the thirsty seek water and the hungry for food. Two great disciples, Sariputhra and Maudgalyana, and their two thousand followers, came to him.
