Buddha's FIRST SERMON at Sarnath


  • He who recognizes the existence of suffering, its cause, its remedy and its cessation, has fathomed the Four Noble Truths. He will walk in the right path.
  • Right views will be the torch to light his way. Right aims will be his guide. Right words will be his dwelling-place on the road. His gait will be straight, for it is the right behaviour. His refreshments will be the right way of earning his livelihood. Right efforts will be his steps; Right thoughts his breath; and peace will follow in his footprints.
  • Whatsoever is originated will be dissolved again. All worry about the self is vain; the ego is like mirage and all the tribulations that touch it will pass away. They will vanish like the nightmare when the sleeper awakes.
  • He who has awakened, is freed from fear, he has become Buddha; he knows the vanity of all his cares, his ambitions, and also of his pains
  • Happy is he who has overcome all selfishness; happy is he who has attained peace and happy is he who has found the truth.
  • Truth is noble and sweet; truth can deliver u from the evil. There is no saviour in the world except the truth.
  • Have confidence in truth, although u may not able to comprehend it, although u may suppose its sweetness to be bitter, although u may shrink from it at first. Trust in Truth.
  • Lead a holy life for the extinction of suffering.
