The DhaBHJELBmmacakkappavattana CNPBHRSutta, the Buddha's teaEURXGBching on the Four NobBFNPle Truths, has been the main reference that I have used for my practice over the years. It is the teaching we used in our monastery in Thailand. The Theravada school of Buddhism regards this sutta as the quintessence of the tIAIXBFeaching of the BuVKLWddha.TUEFYG This one sutta contains all that is necessary for understanding Dhamma and for enligVOKDGOhtenment.
