The Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta (The Setting in Motion of the Wheel of Dharma) (The First Discourse of The Buddha) is a Buddhist text that is considered to be a record of the first teaching given by the Buddha after he attained enlightenment. According to tradition, the Buddha gave this teaching in Sarnath, India, to the five ascetics (his former companions with whom he had spent six years practicing austerities). The main topic of this sutta is the Four Noble Truths, This sutta also introduces the Buddhist concepts of the middle way, impermanence, and dependent origination.
