La Voie du Milieu est un enseignement fondamental du Bouddha. C'est d'ailleurs le tout premier enseignement qu'il donna après son expérience de l'éveil. On le retrouve dans le Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta (le Sūtra de la mise en mouvement de la roue du Dharma, aussi connu sous le nom de Sermon de Bénares). Pourtant, ce concept est souvent mal interprété. Dans cette première partie du teisho, Konrad Maquestieau explique comment comprendre de manière juste la Voie du Milieu et quelle est son importance pour notre monde actuel. Le pragmatisme du Bouddha peut offrir une véritable voie de sortie à la crise des extrêmes dans laquelle nous nous retrouvons trop souvent. Enseignement donné au Shododojo le 22 février 2025. ========================================== De Middenweg is een fundamentele leer van de Boeddha. In feite was het de allereerste lering die hij gaf na zijn ervaring van verlichting. Het wordt gevonden in de Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta (het Sūtra over het in beweging zetten van het wiel van Dharma, ook bekend als de Benares Preek). Toch wordt dit concept vaak verkeerd geïnterpreteerd. In dit eerste deel van de teisho legt Konrad Maquestieau uit hoe je de Middenweg correct kunt begrijpen en wat het belang ervan is voor onze wereld van vandaag. Het pragmatisme van de Boeddha kan een echte uitweg bieden uit de crisis van extremen waarin we ons maar al te vaak bevinden.

L'enseignement de Maître Dōgen s'inscrit dans la continuité directe de celui du Bouddha. La similitude entre les deux est profonde. Tout comme le Sermon de Bénares (Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta) constitue le tout premier enseignement du Bouddha, le Genjō Kōan de Maître Dōgen se trouve au tout début du Shōbōgenzō. On pourrait dire que, pour Maître Dōgen, le Genjō Kōan est la source d'où jaillit l'ensemble du Shōbōgenzō. Dès les quatre premiers versets, Maître Dōgen reprend d'ailleurs la dialectique du concept de la Voie du Milieu pour exprimer la Voie de l'Éveil et nous éclairer dans notre propre pratique. Voici la deuxième partie du teisho de Konrad Maquestieau consacré à La Voie du Milieu. Enseignement donné au Shōdō Dōjō le 22 février 2025. =========================================== De onderricht van meester Dōgen is een directe voortzetting van die van de Boeddha. De overeenkomst tussen de twee is diepgaand. Net zoals de preek van Benares (Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta) de allereerste leer van de Boeddha vormt, is Meester Dōgen's Genjō Kōan te vinden aan het allerbegin van de Shōbōgenzō. Je zou kunnen zeggen dat de Genjō Kōan voor Meester Dōgen de bron is waaruit de hele Shōbōgenzō ontspringt. Meteen vanaf de eerste vier verzen neemt Meester Dōgen de dialectiek van het concept van de Middenweg ter hand om de Weg van Ontwaken uit te drukken en ons te verlichten in onze eigen beoefening. Dit is het tweede deel van Konrad Maquestieau's teisho gewijd aan De Middenweg. Onderricht gegeven in de Shōdō Dōjō op 22 februari 2025. Simultane vertaling Roos Bommerez

On Āsāḷhā Full Moon, Ajahn Dhammasiha discusses the the first discourse of the Buddha, the sutta on 'Setting in Motion the Wheel of Dhamma' (Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta). In particular, he describes how the Buddha's teaching on the 4 Noble Truth is similar to the approach of a good doctor: A good doctor first has to assess the patients true condition by carefully noting all symptoms: For example, fever & cough & weekness. Then he has to find the cause of the problem to provide a diagnosis: For example, infection of lungs with pneumokokkal bacteria, causing pneumonia with above symptons. Then he will have to remove the cause to cure the sickness: For example, antibiotics against the bacteria. Then he provides a suitable treatment plan including prescription for medicine: For example, penicillin 3 times a day with the meal; rest in bed; keeping warm. The Buddha follows exactly the same approach: Assess our true existential condition: Subject to birth, aging, sickness & death, and various other forms of pain and suffering. Find the underlying cause: Craving (Taṇhā). Remove the cause to free us from death and suffering: Abandon craving.

Ajahn Dhammasiha talks about three main events in the Buddha's life that we commemorate on Āsāḷhā Full Moon Day: Teaching of the first formal discourse, the 'Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta' Conception of the Bodhisatta / Dream of Queen Mahāmāyā with the Bodhisatta approaching her in the form of a white elephant with 7 tusks and entering her body via her right side Great renunciation of the Bodhisatta (Mahābhinikkhamana), leaving the household life in the palace, and riding out into the Indian full moon night on his white horse Khantaka, to become an ascetic ⁠Dhammagiri Website⁠ ⁠Our Spotify Playlists⁠ ⁠Newsletter⁠ ⁠Dhammagiri Youtube Channel⁠ .

On Āsāḷhā Full Moon, the Buddha taught his first formal discourse, the "Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta" ("Discourse on Setting in Motion the Wheel of Dhamma") In his Dhamma Talk, Ajahn Dhammasiha goes through the essential content of this very famous Sutta, namely the Four Noble Truths. He tries to elicit answers from the audience

The Buddha mentions the Middle Way (Majjhimā Paṭipadā) right in the beginning of his very first formal discourse, the Sutta on "Setting in Motion the Wheel of Dhamma" (Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta). If he mentions the Middle Way first, even before introducing the 4 Noble Truths, it's obviously really important. Ajahn Dhammasiha encourages us to investigate any issues we encounter in life or in formal meditation in terms of the Middle Way. Can we identify the two extremes to avoid, and instead transcend the extremes and go beyond them on the Middle Way, the Noble 8-Fold Path. Although the Buddha expounds the Middle Way in his first discourse by means of the extremes of sensual indulgence versus ascetic self mortification, there are numerous other extremes and applications of the Middle Way, for example: Too much and ultimately counterproductive effort versus laziness and sloppiness - to be transcended by the middle way of wise effort based on mindfulness and insight Believe in an eternal, blissful Self versus believe that there is simply nothing after death - to be transcended by the Middle Way of dependent origination Eating too much versus eating too little - to be transcended by eating the right amount while contemplating food to wisely abandon attachment to it while still consuming it and so on ...

Ajahn Dhammasiha was invited to share some Dhamma at Bandar Uttama Buddhist Society (BUBS), Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He talks about the Noble Eightfold Path, one of the most fundamental teachings of the Buddha, that is known and acknowledged as essential in all Buddhist traditions, including Mahayana and Tibetan Buddhism. In fact, the Noble Eightfold Path is already included in the first discourse of the Buddha, the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, as it constitutes the fourth Noble Truth. Ajahn puts special emphasis on cultivating the factors of the Noble Path in one's daily life: Right View/Opinion/Conviction Right Intention/Thought Right Speech/Communication Right Action Right Livelihood/Job Right Effort Right Mindfulness Right Samādhī We should never think 'meditation' is only when we sit crosslegged in a formal posture. We should never seperate 'our life' and 'our meditation practice'. Instead, our life and our meditation should become one thing, one intergrated whole, in the sense of developing the factors of the Noble Eightfold Path continuously, in whatever we're doing.

The Dhammacakkappavattana-sutta - SN 56.11 - is the Pāli version of what according to tradition was the first discourse spoken by the Buddha, whose delivery of this discourse led to the attainment of stream-entry by one of his first disciples. With this successful outcome, the Buddha had set in motion the “wheel of Dharma.” This is the most famous sutta in the Pali literature where The Buddha expounds the Four Noble Truths for the first time.

Ajahn Pasanno reflects on the six things that partake of true knowledge and their relation to the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta. This talk was offered on March 4, 2023 at Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery.

This is one of the most famous discourses of the Buddha, his very first formal teaching, which is recited frequently for it's profound power and deep wisdom teachings. The Buddha taught the 'Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta' ('Setting in Motion the Unsurpassable Wheel of Dhamma') on the full moon of Āsāḷhā (July) to his first five disciples, known as the 'Pañca-vaggiya' ('Group of Five'). He expounds the Middle Way ('Majjhima Paṭipadā') and the Four Noble Truths. While the discourse is being spoken, the most senior of the Group of Five, Ven Aññākondañño, realizes Stream Entry ('Sotāpatti'), the first stage of enlightenment. The devas utter an exclamation of joy that reverberates throughout the universe, up to the highest heavens. During our Āsāḷhā Full Moon program at Dhammagiri, we recited the sutta in the original ancient Pali language, the language spoken by the Buddha himself. Ven Niddaro is leading the chanting, with a large group of laity joining in. Additionally, we play the Amaravati version in the background via loudspeaker, to achieve a particular voluminous, rich and smooth sound. The text of the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta can be found on page 2 ff in the Amaravati Chanting Book, both in Pali and in English translation, here: https://cdn.amaravati.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/30/Chanting-Book-Vol-2-Web.pdf Ajahn Dhammasiha offers reflections on the deep meaning of this discourse in a live podcast here: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1pkA2OCADRFcYfHH3OMoMe https://www.dhammagiri.net https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJw https://tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive .

Āsāḷhā Pūja, also known as Dhamma Day, is one of Buddhism's most important festivals, celebrating the Buddha's first formal teaching, the "Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta" in the Deer Park ('Migadāya') at Sarnath near Vārāṇasī. This Sutta on “Setting into Motion the Supreme Wheel of Dhamma”is rightly one of the most famous in the whole Pali Canon. The Buddha opens by expounding the Middle Way ('Majjhimā Paṭipadā') of avoiding the extremes of sensual indulgence and self-mortification. He then proceeds to explain the Four Noble Truths: The Noble Truth of Suffering: Birth, old age, sickness & death; Association with the disliked; Seperation from the liked; Not getting what one wants; In short, the five groups of clinging The Noble Truth of the Cause of Suffering: Craving. The Noble Truth of the End of Suffering: The complete, remainderless cessation of craving. The Noble Truth of the Practice Leading to the End of Suffering: The Noble Eight-Fold Path. Next, the Buddha elucidates three aspects of each Noble Truth. Only after his knowledge and vision of things as they truly are was completely purified in respect of the Four Noble Truths in their three aspects, did he proclaim supreme awakening. The Noble Truth in and by itself. The Duty attached to each Truth: Suffering has to be comprehended; The cause of suffering has to be abandoned; The end of suffering has to be realized; The Middle Way has to be developed. The accomplishment of the duty. In his reflections, Ajahn Dhammasiha places particular emphasis on the duty connected with each of the Noble Truths. The Dhamma is not just an idea, or some idealistic thought system of philosophie. It is and eminently practical, pragmatic, teaching. It is 'opanāyiko', applicable to our life, to be implemented in all our thoughts and actions throughout every day of our life. https://www.dhammagiri.net https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJINt0JJBfFm_x0FZcU9QJw https://tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive .

Il Buddha ha più volte affermato che per tutta la sua vita aveva insegnato soltanto il dolore e il superamento del dolore: è proprio questa l'essenza del suo insegnamento, il Dharma, ed è stato il primo insegnamento che ha dato dopo l'illuminazione, nel Sermone della Messa in Moto della Ruota del Dharma, il Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, SN 56.11, dove espone le Quattro Nobili Verità. Quali sono queste Nobili Verità che il Buddha ci ha insegnato? La prima è la Verità del dolore, dell'insoddisfazione. Il Buddha ci invita a esplorare come la nascita sia in sé fonte del dolore, dell'insoddisfazione: “La nascita è dolore, la vecchiaia è dolore, la malattia è dolore, la morte è dolore, l'unione con ciò che odiamo è dolore, la separazione da ciò che amiamo è dolore, non ottenere ciò che desideriamo è dolore, in breve i cinque aggregati dell'attaccamento sono dolore.“. Riconoscere questo aspetto è vitale per entrare nel Sentiero del Dharma. La seconda Nobile Verità è quella della ragione per cui vi è questo dolore: “E' la sete che porta alla rinascita, vincolata all'avidità e alla brama, e ovunque porta all'attaccamento, vale a dire la sete dei piaceri dei sensi, la sete di esistenza e del divenire, e la sete di non-esistenza.“. Il dolore è causato da attaccamento, avversione ed ignoranza. La terza Nobile Verità è un inno alla gioia, la possibilità di superare questo dolore: “Questa, monaci, è la nobile verità della cessazione del dolore. È la completa cessazione della sete, l'abbandono, la rinuncia, la liberazione, il distacco.“. Ma come ottenere questo distacco, questa cessazione? Questo viene detto nella prossima Verità. La Quarta Nobile verità è la cura che il Beato ci offre per superare il dolore. E' chiamata Ottuplice Sentiero, perché è articolata in otto elementi, rappresentati come gli otto raggi della ruota del Dharma, ogni raggio che sostiene l'altro: Retta visione: la comprensione delle Quattro Nobili Verità, il riconoscimento dei tre segni dell'esistenza: il dolore (dukkha), l'inesistenza di un sé permanente (anatta), l'impermanenza (anicca). Retta intenzione: è l'intenzione di entrare nel Sentiero del Dharma, di voler raggiungere l'illuminazione. Retta parola: è un elemento importante dell'etica buddhista, che si esprime nel non mentire, non usare la parola in modo aggressivo, non parlare inutilmente, non fare pettegolezzi. Retta azione: insieme alla retta parola, sono gli elementi dei Cinque Precetti, ovvero non uccidere, non prendere ciò che non ci viene dato liberamente, non avere una condotta sessuale inappropriata, non assumere sostanze intossicanti che riducono la consapevolezza. Retta sussistenza: mantenersi con un lavoro che non aumenti il dolore in noi e negli altri. Retto sforzo: indica che la pratica non deve essere condotta allo stremo, diventando rigida e non efficace, e nemmeno lasca, ma trovando il punto di mezzo adatto per noi. Retta presenza mentale: è la consapevolezza (sati), una componente alla base di tutta la pratica. Retta concentrazione: è l'unificazione del corpo e della mente (samādhi) che si ottiene con la calma concentrata. E' tramite il samādhi che permettiamo alla nostra mente di essere flessibile e di poter avere le intuizioni profonde tipiche della meditazione vipassana. Le Quattro Nobili Verità possono diventare la base della nostra vita, una vita sempre più libera e serena. Un magnifico libro introduttivo a questo tema è proprio “Le Quattro Nobili Verità” di Ajahn Sumedho, disponibile sul sito del Monastero Santacittarama. Riflessioni di Dharma registrate nel gruppo di meditazione di >Terrapura il 13 novembre 2020.

On Āsāḷhā Full Moon the Buddha dlivered his first formal discourse, the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta. He expounds the Four Noble Truths, and identifies craving (taṇhā) as the cause of old age, sickness, death and all suffering we experience. Once we can completely let go of all craving, the necessary condition for suffering is removed, and sickness, ageing, death and rebirth consequently come to an end as well.In other words, the cure for COVID-19 has already been found some 2,500 years ago by the Buddha, and on Āsāḷhā Full Moon he started handing our 'prescritpions' to us how to cure ourselves from all disease, and from old age, death, and any form of misery, too!All we have to do is following "The Great Physician's" (Mahābhisakko) prescritpion to the letter, follow the Noble Eightfold Path, and we can cure ourselves from everything.www.dhammagiri.org.auwww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archivewww.vimeo.com/dhammatalks.

En este capitulo leemos por el Asalha Puja el famoso primer discurso, impartido en Varanasi a un grupo de 5 ascetas. Inicia por el rechazo a los extremos del ascetismo y recomienda el camino medio del Octuple Sendero. Entonces define las cuatro verdades nobles y las analiza en 12 aspectos. Termina con el Ven. Kondañña conviertiendose en la primera persona después de Buddha en comprender el Dharma.

The Buddha delivered his first formal teaching, the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, on Āsāḷhā Full Moon. When he expounded the Middle Way and the Four Noble Truths, Ven Aññā Kondañño was the first one to realize the Dhamma and to see that "Whatever is subject to origination is also subject to cessation".This full moon also marks the beginning of the yearly 3 months 'Rains Retreat' ('Vassa') for the monks.Ajahn Dhammasiha offers reflections on the 4 Noble Truths (Cattāro Ariyasaccāni). He emphasizes that the four noble truths are an eminently practical teaching, not some philosophical system of mere thoughts and ideas, but a meditative technique to apply in our heart to free us from all pain and suffering. Therefore, each of the 4 Noble Truths has a duty attached to it, advising us what we actually should do with it.www.dhammagiri.org.auwww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archivewww.vimeo.com/dhammatalks.

Āsāḷhā Full Moon marks the beginning of the annual 3 months 'Rains Retreat' period ('Vassa') for the monks. It commemorates the first formal discourse of the Buddha, the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, where he expounds the four Noble Truths.During the session, Ajahn Dhammasiha wears a surgical mask. Not because he or anyone at Dhammagiri is sick, or because there is an outbreak in Brisbane. In fact, everyone is fine at the monastery, and Queensland did not have a single case of community transmission for more than a month. But he wants to make a point: Just as masks are effective, as they dramatically reduce the cause of COVID-19 disease, which is the virus; likewise, precepts are very effective in reducing the cause of suffering 9'dukkha'), which is craving ('taṇhā').We can compare the Buddha's teaching of the 4 Noble Truths with a doctor diagnosing and treating a disease:The disease we've all got is suffering ('dukkha'), with the following symptoms: Old age, sickness, death and rebirth; seperation from loved ones; encountering what we dislike; not getting what we want; in short the 5 groups of clingingThe deep cause for our sickness is the craving ('taṇhā') in our own heartIf we remove craving, the sickness which is caused by it, will be removed as wellThe prescription to cure the craving is the Noble Eightfold PathBy the way, we have put a lot of effort into improving audio quality, and it should be noticably better now :-)www.dhammagiri.orgwww.vimeo.com/dhammatalkswww.tinyletter.com/dhammagiri/archive

It was eighteen leagues from Uruvelā, and when Gotama gave up his austere penances his friends, the Pañcavaggiya monks, left him and went to Isipatana (J.i.68). After his Enlightenment the Buddha, leaving Uruvela, joined them in Isipatana, and it was there that he preached his first sermon, the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta, on the full-moon day of āsālha. The deer park in Sarnath is where Gautama Buddha first taught the Dharma, and where the Buddhist Sangha came into existence through the enlightenment the Buddha. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/HiNataNoTabi/message

Sutta reading -- part II in a series of the three most crucial suttas to begin to understand the Dhamma. (Tipitaka: Samyutta Nikaya: SN56)

Greetings Friends, This is a recording of the fourth session of our 2019 Becoming Buddha Immersion In The Dhamma Spring Retreat on May 18, 2019. My Dhamma talks and our Sangha discussions are on the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta and the Magga Vibhanga Sutta. The Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta is the first teaching of the Buddha and established the Four Noble Truths as the overarching purpose and context for the Buddha’s entire teaching career. The Magga Vibhnag Sutta is the Buddha’s analysis of the Fourth Noble Truth, the truth of the Eightfold Path leading to awakening. The beginning of this recording is a continuation of the previous evening's session discussion on Right Speech as Right Speech relates to discussing the modern tragedy of sexual predation within modern Buddhism Information on our retreats is available at Information on our retreats is available at Becoming-Buddha.com.

This is a live stream and recording of my Thursday evening Dhamma talk on November 8, 2018. The stream begins every Thursday at 7:15 PM Eastern US time. My Dhamma talk is on the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta. The Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta is the very first teaching ever presented by the Buddha. It occurred a few weeks after Siddhartha Gotama awakened and gained full human maturity - complete understanding of the human life experience. “Vision arose, insight arose, discernment arose, knowledge arose, illumination arose within me with regard to things never heard before: The noble truth of stress is to be understood.” (Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta) A related article is here:  https://becoming-buddha.com/dhammacakkappavattana-sutta-four-noble-truths/ An audio only version of this video is available at my podcast archive: https://becoming-buddha.com/becoming-buddha-podcast/ A video archive of our classes is available here: https://becoming-buddha.com/dhamma-stream-videos/ Here is the archive for all of my Dhamma articles and talks: https://becoming-buddha.com/dhamma-articles-and-talks-archive/ If you find benefit from this talk please consider a donation: https://becoming-buddha.com/support-john-and-becoming-buddha-com/ Thank You.
