Summary: the Buddha approached and sat down, they were unable to carry out their resolution, and instead received him with marks of respect. The Buddha then delivered his first sermon, the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, setting in motion the Wheel of Dhamma, and thus began his mission of teaching the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path to attain liberation from suffering. This event marked the beginning of the Buddha's ministry, and the Five monks became his first disciples by attaining enlightenment and joining the Sangha. The discourse conveyed the essence of the Buddha's teachings on the nature of suffering, its origin, cessation, and the path to liberation, establishing the foundation of Buddhism as a spiritual path leading to enlightenment. The Bud- dha's method of teaching through direct experience and practical guidance set a precedent for his future discourses and the formation of the monastic community, forming the core principles of Buddhist doctrine and practice.
