Question

Note to moderator: read answerline carefully. One of these events concluded with the ascetic Koṇḍañña becoming the first stream-enterer. Because he was not physically present (15[1])for some of these events, Ānanda originated the formulaic phrase “thus have I heard” at later retellings. (15[2])The Dhamek Stupa (15[1])commemorates the site of one of these events, (15[1])which was also celebrated by Ashoka’s Lion Capital. Another of these events (-5[1])opened with the proclamation that “all is burning.” (15[2])(*) Mahākāshyapa (10[2])smiled after the central figure of one of these events silently held up a flower. (10[2])The second of these events promulgated the “no-soul doctrine” or anattā. The first of these events occurred at Deer Park in Sārnāth, (10[1])where teachings (-5[1])about escaping dukkha “set in motion” the wheel of Dharma. (10[1])For 10 points, name these events, during which a religious leader enumerated teachings such as the (-5[1])Four Noble Truths. ■END■ (10[3])
