He saw that people are like lotuses in a pond at different stages of growth, and he understood that just as some lotuses close to the surface of the water need only the sun s rays to rise above the surface and fully blossom, so there are some people who need only to hear the noble teaching to win enlightenment and gain perfect liberation of mind. When he saw this his heart was stirred by deep compassion, and he decided to go back into the world and to teach the Dhamma to those who were ready to listen. The first ones he approached were his former companions, the five ascetics who had deserted him a few months earlier and were now dwelling in a deer park at Sarnath near Benares. He explained to them the truths he had discovered, and on hearing his discourse they gained insight into the Dhamma, becoming his first disciples. In the months ahead his following grew by leaps and bounds as both householders and ascetics heard the liberating message, gave up their former creeds, and declared themselves disciples of the Enlightened One.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003chr\u003e \u003cp\u003e Also available in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/store.pariyatti.org\/Buddha-and-His-Dhamma-WH433-34_p_2428.html\"\u003epaperback.\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bps.lk\/olib\/wh\/wh433_Bodhi_Buddha-and-His-Dhamma--Two-Lectures.pdf\"\u003eFree eBook version available from the BPS website\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCheck out our \u003ca href=\"\/Audiobooks_c_40.html\"\u003ecomplete audiobook catalog.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eWe are grateful to the volunteers who offered their time and skills creating this product so that we can offer it freely.
