Sarnath is traditionally regarded as the place where the #Buddha gave his first teaching after attaining #awakening, setting the "Wheel of #Dharma in motion" and marking the beginning of the Buddhist #Sangha.

It's #StupaSunday!

This week's #stupa is #DhamekStupa located in #Sarnath, outside of #Varanasi. It is believed to be built on the location of the #Buddha's first sermon, the #DhammacakkappavattanaSutta.
