The Sermon At Benares
[This is one version of the Budhha's first presentation of his doctrine, as related by a monk who is
passing on the tradition as he heard it.]
Thus have I heard: at one time the Blessed One dwelt at Benares at Isipatana in the Deer Park. There
the Blessed One addressed the five monks:-
"These two extremes, monks, are not to be practiced by one who has gone forth from the world. What
are the two? That conjoined with the passions and luxury, low, vulgar, common, ignoble, and useless;
and that conjoined with self-torture, painful, ignoble, and useless. Avoiding these two extremes the
Tathagata [the Perfect One; that is, the Buddha] has gained the enlightenment of the Middle Path, which
produces insight and knowledge, and tends to calm, to higher knowledge, enlightenment, Nirvana.
"And what, monks, is the Middle Path, of which the Tathagata has gained enlightenment, which produces
insight and knowledge, and tends to calm, to higher knowledge, enlightenment, Nirvana? This is the
noble Eightfold Way: namely, right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right
effort, right mindfulness, right concentration. This, monks, is the Middle Path, of which the Tathagata has
gained enlightenment, which produces insight and knowledge, and tends to calm, to higher knowledge,
enlightenment, Nirvana."
And the Blessed One spoke kindly to his disciples, pitying them for their errors, and pointing out the
uselessness of their endeavors, and the ice of ill-will that chilled their hearts melted away under the gentle
warmth of the master's persuasion.
Now the Blessed One set the wheel of the most excellent law rolling and he began to preach to the five
monks, opening to them the gate of immortality, and showing them the bliss of Nirvana.
The Buddha said:
"The spokes of the wheel are the rules of pure conduct; justice is the uniformity of their length; wisdom is
the tire; modesty and thoughtfulness are the hubs in which the immovable axle of truth is fixed.
"He who recognizes the existence of suffering, its cause, its remedy, and its cessation has fathomed the
four noble truths. He will walk in the right path. Right views will be the torch to light his way. Right
aspirations will be his guide. Right speech will be his dwelling place on the road. His gait will be straight,
for it is right behavior. His refreshments will be the right way of earning his livelihood. Right efforts will be
his steps; right thoughts his breath; and right contemplation will give him the peace that follows in his
footprints.
"(1)Now this, monks, is the noble truth of suffering: birth is painful, old age is painful, sickness is painful,
death is painful, sorrow, lamentation, dejection, and despair are painful. Contact with unpleasant things is
painful, not getting what one wishes is painful. In short the five groups of grasping (skandhas) are
painful.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
