- Sarnath is one of the Four Greatest Places of Buddhist Pilgrimage. Lumbini, Bodhgaya and Kushinagar being the rest of the three greatest places of pilgrimage.
Sarnath is the place where Buddhism started !!
And it is the place where Buddha set the Dhamma rolling!!
This is the place where Buddha preached his first sermon called Dhammacakkapavattana Sutta.
In Sarnath, Buddha gave the theory of the Four Noble Truths and the eightfold noble paths, which leads to freedom and enlightenment.
Sarnath is located around 10 kilometres from the ancient city of Varanasi and is one of the most important centres of pilgrimage for Buddhists.
After attaining enlightenment at Uruvela, Budhha was undecided about teaching Dhamma to others, but on inspiration from Brahma, he set out to teach the five ascetics who have served him for six years but left him after he abandoned the path of self-mortification.
Budhha reached the Deer park on a full moon night of Asadha month, and that very night he gave his first sermon. The second sermon given by Buddha is called Anattalakkhana Sutta. In Sarnath Buddha also preached one of the richest men of his time, named Yash and his 54 followers and they all became Arahants.
Later Buddha asked all these 60 Arahants to go in different directions with no two Arahants going on the same road, thus establishing the order of monks or Sangha.
Emperor Ashoka visited this place in 249 BC and erected several important monuments to mark this pilgrimage, including Dhamek Stupa, Dharmarajika Stupa and Ashoka Pillar with the lion capital atop. This capital is now India’s national symbol.
The monastic settlement of Sarnath was destroyed by the end of the 12th century during the Turkish invasion. During the next few centuries, it was gradually deserted and erased from the memory of people. It remained lost till 1836 when British archaeologist rediscovered the site.
After remaining lost and deserted for more than 800 years, today, Sarnath has gradually become one of the most visited places in India and one of the most important centres of Buddhist pilgrimage in the world.

@@BodhisattvaTravels I would like to ask about the Dharmarajika Stupa that is supposed to be the place of First Sermon, on other hand you said the Dhamek Stupa is the place of Second Sermon Therefore Buddha gave two Sermons, Right ? I'm been 3 times in Sarnath & every one (Monks, Pilgrims, Tourists, said & mostly pay respect to Dhamek Stupa saying is the place of the Buddha Sermon ! It's be a little bit confusing you see ?
@@didierroux1547 The Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta was the first sermon of Buddha while the Anattalakkhaṇa Sutta was the second sermon given by Buddha. So yes, Buddha gave his first two sermons at Sarnath. He gave his third sermon near Bodhgaya (also known as the fire sermon), after returning from Sarnath. Many of the Burmese monks believe that Dharmrajika Stupa is the exact place where Buddha gave his first sermon. However, I would like to add that the entire space between Dharmrajika Stupa and Dhamek is sacred and significant because the space was blessed with the first two sermons of Buddha. Regarding the importance of the two Stupas, Dharmrajika stupa also being the only relic Stupa in Sarnath is very important, though it was destroyed and now only its foundation is present there. Unfortunately, most people are not aware of the high significance of the destroyed Stupa and it is simply ignored. I hope I was able to answer your questions.
@@BodhisattvaTravels So If I understood what you wrote above, the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta (first sermon) was given at
at Dharmrajika Stupa, Second Sermon at Dhamek or Dhameka Stupa, And you speak about a third Sermon ? Where it was

India is a land where many wonders happened beautiful was it thousand years back today 2023 over populated polluted many very rich and so many more poor live in India many 8nduans want to escape from this land to any country even to Sudan or to Ukraine... corruption has ruined India.
Prince Siddhartha (Buddha) was not an Indian but a Siri Lankan, where people do not die of HEAT waves or COLD waves.
Can you share the proof of Siddhartha being born at Sri Lanka ?
