After arriving in Benares, the five ascetics saw the Buddha was entering the Deer Park. One of the five hermit said, "My friends, look, the ascetic Gotama is entering the park, he is a man who delighted the world with pleasure. He slipped from the holy life and return to a life of pleasure and enjoyment. We should not have to say hello. More over we do not give respect to him. We should also not be offered to welcome bowl and robes. We just provide the mats for his seat. He may use it if you want and if not, he should stand alone. Who will take care of a hermit who has failed? "When Buddha came closer, they saw that something was changed and the Buddhist ascetic Gotama was not the same as they used to know. He now seems more noble and glorious, that they had never seen before. Although they originally had agreed to not salute the Buddha, but when the Buddha approached, they seemed to forget what they agreed.
One of them came forward and respectfully welcome his bowl and robes, while others are busy preparing for another seat and rushed to fetch water untu again wash the feet of Buddha. After taking a seat, Buddha then said: "Hear, O Sage. I have found the roadleading to a state free from death. I'll tell you. I am teaching. thee. If you want to hear,learn and train yourself as you would teach in a short time you can understand, rather than later later later on, but now also in life that what I said is true. You can explore their own situation which is above life and death. "
Of course, the five ascetics were surprised to hear a greeting Buddha. Because they see themselves She stopped fasting, they see themselves He stopped all attempts to find the Enlightenment Great and now he came to them to inform that he had discovered that the Great Enlightenment. Therefore they do not believe in what Buddha says. They replied, "Friend (avuso) Gotama, when we still lived together, you have to practice and torture yourself like that has never been done by anyone else in the entire Jambudipa.

That's why we consider you as our leader and teacher. But by all means of self-mortification that you did not find what you're looking for, namely the Great Enlightenment. After you are now back full of life fun and enjoyment and to stop tryingand train yourself, how could you now have to find it? "" You are mistaken, Sage. I never stopped trying. I did not return to a life of pleasure and enjoyment. Listen to what I said. Iactually had obtained a Supreme Wisdom. And can teach you to also obtain these wisdom for yourself. "
After that the five ascetics willing to listen to his preaching. So Buddha gave his first sermon which would become Dhammacakkappavattanasutta (Sermons DhammaWheel Screening). The first sermon spoken by the Buddha just as the full moon in the month sidhi asadha.
