It was preached on the fullmoon day of July, called Asalha. This sermon was preached to the five ascetics at the Deer Park in Isipatana(now called Sarnath), near Benares. Many devas and Brahmas were present to listen to the sermon. The Buddha stared the sermon by advising them to give up two extremes. These were the enjoyment of sensual pleasures and the formenting of the body(self indulgence and self mortification). He advised against too much sensual pleasures because they were base, worldly, not noble and not helpful for spiritual development. On the other hand, tormenting the body was painful, not noble and also not helpful for spiritual development. He advised them to follow the MIddle Path called Majjhima Patipada which is helpful to see things clearly as they are, to gaining knowledge, higher wisdom, peace, enlightenment and Nibbana. The Buddha then taught the Four Noble Truths in His first sermon. They are the Noble Truths of Sorrow, its Cause, its End and the Way to its end. Everything in this world is full of Sorrow and the cause of Sorrow is craving. The end of Sorrow is Nibbana, and the Way to the end of Sorrow is the Noble Eightfold Path. The Buddha said that He was Enlightened only after He understood these Four Noble Truthss. The Noble Eightfold Path has eight parts or factors: Right Understanding, Right Thoughts, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness and Right Concentration. 탐내지 말고 속이지 말며, 갈망하지 말고 남의 덕을 가리지도 말며, 혼탁과 미혹을 버리고 세상의 온갖 애착에서 벗어나, 무소의 뿔처럼 혼자서 가라. |
