The Setting in Motion of the Wheel of the Dharma Sutta

Today is known as the Dhamma Day when the Buddha gave the first discourse: The Four Noble Truth to his former associates, the five ascetics. In the first sermon is known as the setting in motion of the wheel of the Dhamma, the Buddha shared on the The Four Noble Truth after his enlightenment as follows:

1) There is suffering (dukkha)
2)  Suffering is caused by craving (tanha)
3) There is a state (nibbana) beyond suffering and craving
4) The way to nirvana is via the eightfold path.
