The Sutra of the Wheel of Dharma (Skt. Dharmacakrasūtra; Tib. ཆོས་ཀྱི་འཁོར་ལོའི་མདོ་, Wyl. chos kyi ‘khor lo’i mdo) — according to all of the Buddhist traditions, this is Buddha’s first teaching, which he gave to his five former spiritual companions, on the Four Noble Truths that he had discovered as part of his awakening.
Since 'turning the wheel of Dharma' is a figurative expression used for teaching the Dharma, this discourse is also known as The Sutra of the Turning of the Wheel of Dharma.
