Dharmachakrapravartana Sutra (Turning The Dharma Wheel)

Recorded at San Francisco Dharma Collective
January 13, 2019

Part One of the Eight Schools of Buddhism Series

The Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, from the Samyutta Nikaya, the Connected discourses of the Buddha. The first teaching of the Buddha.
“These two extremes should not be followed… What two? Indulgence in sensual pleasures from sensual objects, which is low, vulgar, the way of ordinary people, ignoble, and unbeneficial; and the indulgence in self-mortification, which is painful, ignoble and unbeneficial. Avoiding these two extremes, the Tathagata has realized the Middle Path, which gives rise to vision and knowledge, leading to tranquility and to insight, to enlightenment, to Nirvana.”
