Asalha Puja or Dharma Day is recognized as the day in which Buddha delivered the first sermon after his enlightenment and shared his core teachings. As this occurance eventually led to the spread of Buddhism, many honor this day as the beginning of the Buddhist religion. Buddha’s sermon was described as “setting into motion the wheel of dharma” and the four noble truths were shared. The teachings and practices that the Buddha revealed as well as his description of reality are called Dharma. Observers may participate by making offerings to the monks.
