Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta - Dhammakaya Thailand

How long are you willing to wait until you get to do what

you love to do the most? 20 years? Entire life? Or, more than

a lifetime?

In Lord Buddha’s case, he waited billions of lifetimes before

his greatest wish came true. “Dhammacakkappavattana

Sutta,” which recounts the historic event in which the Buddha

gave his first-ever sermon, might take less than 20 minutes to

chant but it was a culmination of the world’s longest-running

story of love for humanity.

Buddhism was founded out of unconditional love. When

we love someone, not only we wish that person happy but

also we try to do whatever we can to bring happiness to that

person. In so doing, we give, share and make sacrifices. That

exactly what Gautama Buddha did unconditionally.

After painstakingly risking his own life, he shared all the

knowledge that he discovered out of a sheer wish to help

fellow human beings free themselves from the bondage of

physical and emotional suffering without expecting anything

in return except their happiness.
