Lord Buddha Preaching

Lord Buddha Preaching



Gandhar School,1st Century CE
Having attained enlightenment, having transformed himself from Prince Siddharth to Buddha, Buddha started preaching to the people about the Middle Path. Buddha wondered about the cause of misery in the world. His answer was "desire is the cause of misery." No desire, no misery is the answer. Buddha's first sermon was at Sarnath. There he set the wheels of law (Dharamchakra) into motion. Men and women were mesmerised by the simplicity of his language , by the greatness of his thoughts. In an age without social media, Buddhism swept the entire Asia.
