In News : Former Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi has been pardoned today in five of 19 charges brought against her by the military Junt a after the coup in 2021. The amnesty marking an important Buddhist religious day-Dhamma Cakka Day, will reduce her 33 years jail term by six years.

Dhamma Cakka Day is a Buddhist holiday that celebrates the Buddha’s first sermon, which he gave in the Deer Park in Sarnath, India. The sermon is known as the Dhamma Cakka Pavattana Sutta, or the Turning of the Wheel of Dhamma. In this sermon, the Buddha taught the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path.

The Four Noble Truths are:

Dukkha: Life is suffering.

Samudaya: Suffering is caused by desire.

Nirodha: Suffering can be ended.

Magga: There is a path to the end of suffering.

The Eightfold Path is the path to the end of suffering. It is a set of eight practices that lead to the development of wisdom, morality, and concentration. The Eightfold Path is:

1.Right understanding

2.Right thought

3.Right speech

4.Right action

5.Right livelihood

6.Right effort

7.Right mindfulness

8.Right concentration

Dhamma Cakka Day is a day to celebrate the Buddha’s teachings and to reflect on the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. It is also a day to recommit to living a life of compassion, wisdom, and peace.
