Just outside the city of Varanasi lies Sarnath, one of the most sacred sites in Buddhism. It is here that the Buddha delivered his first sermon, setting in motion the Wheel of Dhamma. This moment marked the beginning of a profound spiritual journey, not only for the first five monks who received the teachings but for generations that followed. The grounds of Sarnath are rich with heritage. The Dhamek Stupa rises as a solemn reminder of that first sermon. At the same time, the remnants of ancient monasteries and the graceful Ashokan Pillar speak of a time when the Dhamma began to spread across lands and minds. Sarnath invites visitors to pause, reflect, and connect with the origins of the Buddha’s teachings.
