TWENTY-FIVE centuries ago on a full-moon day of the month of Asadha, in the deer park Isipatana, now Sarnath near Benares, there was enacted a memorable scene. For there the Lord Buddha, after attaining Enlightenment, preached His first sermon, the Discourse of the Setting in Motion the Wheel of Righteousness. In that sermon the Lord pointed out the Way, and established on a broad imperishable basis His Kingdom of the Law.
