Sermon to Yasa

While the Buddha spent Vassa (the Rains Retreat) in the Isipatana Forest, he met a man named Yasa who was tired of family life. “Here is commotion. Here is discomfort”, complained Yasa. Hearing Yasa's complaints, the Buddha replied “Here is no commotion. Here is comfort”. Upon hearing a sermon given by the Buddha, Yasa attained Arahant (fully-awakened being). He later became a bhikkhu himself along with fourty-four of his friends and his parents and wife were the first lay-devotees to accept the Triple Gem as their refuge.
