In [[Theravada]] Buddhism that teaching is considered to reside within the [[Pali Canon]] and those existing, [[Sampradaya|practical traditions]] that remain faithful to that dispensation.<br /> ==The Historical Mission of the Buddha==<br /> In his first sermon, '[[Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta|The Turning of the Wheel of Dhamma]]', the Buddha explains that as a result of what he had discovered from his years long spiritual quest as a ''[[sramana]]'', it had become incumbent upon him to explain this discovery to humanity out of compassion for their welfare and happiness. The essence of this teaching was the [[four noble truths]]. Humanity was in a general state of suffering and alienation yet were unaware that there was a Way out of this condition. In order to escape this condition of suffering it was necessary to undertake a course of self-discipline ([[Pali]]: ''[[Vinaya]]'') that involved adopting a strict code of moral conduct ([[Pali]]: ''[[Buddhist ethics|sila]]'') and commitment to [[Bhavana|spiritual development]].<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Cetiya]]<br /> * [[Noble Eightfold Path]]<br /> * [[Śāsana]]<br /> <br /> == References==<br /> 1:[https://what-buddha-said.net/library/Metteyya/arimet03.htm], <br /> 2:[https://web.archive.org/web/20140630195333/http://www.beyondthenet.net/Saddha/ruvan.pdf]<br /> <br /> {{Buddhism-stub}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Buddhist eschatology]]</div>
