Answer 1

The first Sermon of the Buddha was delivered at Sarnath.

Explanation:

In Sarnath, close to the present-day city of Varanasi (Benares), in Uttar Pradesh, India, the Buddha gave his first speech, known as the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta or "Setting in Motion the Wheel of Dharma," at a location known as Deer Park. Known as the "First Turnning of the Wheel of Dharma," this occasion signifies the start of Buddha's teaching career following enlightenment.
