The enlightenment of the first five monks on the 5th day of the waning moon in the 8th month is a central event in the Buddhist tradition that highlights the significance of conditioned arising and cessation as the core of the teaching and calls for the practice of Dhamma.
The text explains the 5th day of the waning moon in the 8th month as a significant day in the Buddhist calendar, on which, according to tradition, the first five monks attained the fruit of Arahantship. It tells the story of the Five Monks, who after the Buddha's first Dhamma teaching successively became Sotāpannas and finally Arahants. The Ānāpānasati Sutta is mentioned as an important text for this enlightenment. The story of Yasakumāra, a prince who remained restless despite worldly pleasures and only attained true happiness through Dhamma practice, is cited as an example. The text describes the encounter of Sāriputta with Moggallāna and Kōḷita, in which the verse 'Yaṃ taṃ kiñci samudayadhammaṃ sabbaṃ taṃ nirodhadhammaṃ' is highlighted as the core of Buddhism. The spread of Buddhism from India to Thailand and the significance of ancient stupas as bearers of the teaching are discussed. The three characteristics – impermanence, suffering, and non-self – are repeated as central insight. The text calls for recognizing the significance of this day and of the teaching and for practicing it.

And today, according to the lunar calendar, it is the 5th waning day of the 8th month. And people don't know how important today is. The 5th waning day of the 8th month must be observed because in the lineage of the Dhamma, when the Dhamma was 2014 years ago, last year, it was the first time that arahants arose in the world. Why? Since the Buddha, it wasn't just one arahant. There were 5 arahants, namely the group of the five monks. Before this, there had been those who attained the eye of Dhamma and became sotāpannas in sequence, as we know. On the 8th month's waning day, or 5 days ago, the elder monks had attained the eye of Dhamma and became sotāpannas in sequence after the Blessed One came to give a discourse, or came from the village to give a discourse. And then, the others came to see them. That is, the elder monks who came from the village to give a discourse also attained the fruit of sotāpanna. And then on the waning day of the 8th month, after the Blessed One gave the Ānāpānasati Sutta, all five of these monks attained the fruit of arahant. The Ānāpānasati Sutta is very important. It is a Dhamma that is profound, but not too difficult to understand. At this point, there were already arahants in the world. In that group, there were also many others who attained the Dhamma and became arahants. That is, Yasa the householder. Yasa the householder attained the Dhamma of arahant, but he was a householder. He was able to be a kulaṇṭha, a kulaṇṭha who was a son of a brahmin, a son of a brahmin, who received the ordination with the full ordination, or with the full ordination. The Dhamma was complete in all things. Jīvakā Komārabhacca had the three knowledges. The kulaṇṭha also had the same, the three knowledges. And every day or every night there was the singing of the pāṭimokkha, there was the recitation of the Dhamma for the kulaṇṭha to see, to hear. But he did not feel fully satisfied with the happiness he received. Because the happiness was still not enough. It was still not enough. The happiness was still not complete. The mind was still not at peace. Happiness had not yet been attained. It had to be attained. It had to be attained. It had to be attained. It had to be attained. And if it were not attained, it would not be fully satisfied. It would not be fully satisfied. It would not be fully satisfied. It would not be fully satisfied. It would not be fully satisfied. It would not be fully satisfied. It would not be fully satisfied. It would not be fully satisfied. It would not be fully satisfied. It would not be fully satisfied. It would not be fully satisfied.

At that time, I didn't know anything at all about the rising hand. I didn't know anything at all, all the time. Buddhism, the decline of the matter, India, a long time, danger, after the war, the year, the people of India, ah, anybody, knew about what came before, because Buddhism, the decline, brought it along, there was no need to remain, because the chromatic hand created it, so I knew that this place of ours is an important place for Buddhism, and then I came to know that Buddhism had flourished in India two thousand years ago, and it declined just a thousand years ago. The language that has been used here has been preserved at the Phra Phuttha Chedi, the Phra Chedi of Phra Phuttha. It's not just the Phra Phuttha alone, at Ratchaburi, Kubwa, Kubthong, Suphanburi, or the Krasin Phuttha Saet, Phuttha Saet Soong, and so on. These things, the sacred places of Buddhism, have a deep meaning, a correct dharma, so they are the wisdom of the people of old. They had a great deal of knowledge about the matters of Buddhism, or not, the Phra Wath, the people of the old times, they could answer, the heart of the religion, what is it, they could answer it all. The dharma of the dharma, and when you come to it, this dharma of the dharma, it is also a floating thing for the people of the old times, the one who holds the description of the dharma, so that they could know that India was a place where Buddhism had once flourished, because the religion of today has declined greatly, and it has been a thousand years. The people of Phra Man, the Thai people, from before, they knew this dharma of the dharma. The ancients, the Phra Borom, the place of the scholars, they also had this dharma of the dharma preserved. Wherever they found it, they knew it. That is, it had been a wat, or it had been an important place of Buddhism, but the people of today have forgotten. It's amazing to say, the people of Buddhism, even though the meaning is very deep. Listen to the dharma, all things arise from causes. The Buddha also spoke of the arising of things and the ceasing of things. Because if it is a self, it would dominate, it would rule over itself. But if it arises from causes, and if it arises, it ceases, and it is not a self, it is not a self, it is not a self. The dharma that we go to, TCM, all things arise from causes. The Buddha also spoke of the arising of things and the ceasing of things. The causes of the dharma, this side has already been opened. Oh, the wisdom opens up brightly, because it is seen that these things are impermanent, and these things are not a self, not a self. The benefits of the dharma, the preservation of meaning, or the eating of meaning, that is the truth of the dharma, the teaching of the Buddha, the dharma of the dharma, the truth of the dharma, the impermanence of all things, the suffering of all things, the non-self that the teachers have spoken of, that they have no great knowledge at all, but they can reflect the heart of Buddhism, so that it is clear, just two things, all things arise from causes, the arising of things and the ceasing of things. When there is arising, there is ceasing. Whatever arises and ceases, it is suffering, it is not permanent, it is difficult to endure. And then, according to what arises from causes, if the cause ceases, it ceases, so it is not a self, not a self. The reflection, the arising, the ceasing, the three characteristics of the truth, the dharma of the dharma, the truth of the dharma. Later, the Phra Salik, the Phra Coolana, also discovered the language of the Buddha, because of the je saute, the ultimate, the heart in the matter of the dharma.

So it is not the truth, because I feel that the woman thinks, but that which is our own body and mind, that there is no self. Children are not us, children are not ours, names are not us, not ours. This is then called beginning to see the leaks, hiding into the water, this is more like the uncle, before that, a separation arose, separated out, and then seeing everyone before as a mass, as a mass, because the elements also separate into form and name. Because if one clings to the name in the self, in the identity, one will enter into the matter of the self, in the teachings of the teacher regarding the self, it is very important, because it causes the Buddha to return to the world, and it also causes important disciples to follow, very many, meaning both the Venerable Sāriputta and the Venerable Moggallāna. And the point is that it is something that will help us to overcome suffering. To help us from pain, because even though there is suffering, there is no one suffering, but because one clings to there being a self, then there is suffering. It is said that there is a self, or the clinging to the self, when death arises there is no one dying, no self dying, it will go to the matter of form and name that disintegrate. On a day like this, our hands will reach the perfection of the Dhamma discourse, that the water will come to the body. Do not let every matter pass by, because it is a very important verse as has been spoken. The rice in this speech, return together.
