Summary

Description
English: Buddha's First Sermon at Sarnath. Pakistan (ancient region of Gandhara), 2nd century. Gray schist, H. 11 1/4 in.; W. 12 3/4 in. Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Buddha is shown teaching the first sermon to five ascetics who become monks; in this way, he establishes the monastic order. The Buddha reaches down to set in motion the wheel of the law—a well-established symbol of Buddhist teaching, or dharma. To the Buddha's upper right stands the protective deity Vajrapani holding a vajra (thunderbolt).
Français : Le premier sermon de Bouddha, à Sarnath. Pakistan (ancienne région du Gandhara), IIe siècle. Schiste gris, H. 28.6 x L. 32.4 cm. Metropolitan Museum of Art. Le Bouddha est représenté dans la pose de l'enseignement, au cours du premier sermon à cinq ascètes qui sont représentés comme s'ils étaient déjà des moines ; par cet acte, il établit l'ordre monastique. Le Bouddha effectue le geste qui met en mouvement la roue de la loi, un symbole bien établi de l'enseignement bouddhiste, et qui exprime le dharma. Sur le rang du haut, à la droite de Bouddha se trouve la divinité protectrice Vajrapani qui tient un vajra ( foudre ).
