Dasuttara Sutta – Part 24 & Dhammachakka Sutta

The Buddhist Temple at Oman

Mindfulness Program at Oman 2016

A Tour of Dhamma in Oman was undertaken by Most Ven. U. Dhammajiva Maha Thero on the invitation of the Buddhist Society of Oman during September 2016. The Maha Thero conducted a meditation retreat and a series of Dhamma Talks in Oman during this short yet busy tour.

The Maha Thero selected Dasuttara Sutta as the topic for Dhamma sermons during the Mindfulness retreat. It was a continuation of the long series on Dasuttara Stta. The Maha Thero selected Dhammachakka Sutta during the evening Dhamma sermons conducted at the temple.

Dasuttara Sutta is the 34th or the last Sutta of Digha Nikaya preached by the Chief Disciple Most Ven. Sariputta at the Gaggarāpokkharani in Campā, in the presence of the Lord Buddha. It is said that at the end of the discourse five hundred monks became Arahants.

Dasuttara Sutta (In Sinhala) is now available at Thripitakaya.org. Please click the following link to read the text of the Sutta directly from Thripitakaya.org

Dasuttara Sutta Text in Sinhala

Dhammachakka or Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta is the first Sutta preached by the Lord Buddha after attaining Buddhahood. The Buddha gave this Sutta to the Five Ascetics at Sarnath, India. The main topic of this sutra is the Four Noble Truths, which are the central teachings of Buddhism that provide a unifying theme, or conceptual framework, for all of Buddhist thought. This sutra also introduces the Buddhist concepts of the Middle Way, impermanence, and dependent origination.
