sermon

In Christianity and Buddhism, spoken or written discourse on a religious subject. The Sermon on the Mount is the summary of Jesus' teachings recorded in Matthew 5:7; this formed the core of subsequent Christian teaching on discipleship. In many churches the sermon is preached from the pulpit, and is based on current issues or passages of the Bible.

The Buddha's first sermon was preached in a deer park soon after he had reached enlightenment. In it he described the Middle Way, which avoids extremes of asceticism and pleasure-seeking.

One Sunday morning in the summer as he sat by his desk in the room with a large Bible opened be- fore him, and the sheets of his sermon scattered about, the minister was shocked to see, in the upper room of the house next door, a woman lying in her bed and smoking a cigarette while she read a book.

No, the prayers were prayed, the lessons were read, and best of all the sermon was talked; and I found myself repeating, as we left the church, the words of Jacob, when he 'awaked out of his sleep.
