Authentic Past Paper Standard Evaluation
Gautam Buddha gave the maximum sermons at which place?
Solution & Analysis
Answer: B
Concept
While Buddha traveled extensively, he had certain favored locations where he spent long periods during the Vassa (rainy season retreat).Explanation
Shravasti, the capital of the Kosala Kingdom, is where the Buddha is recorded to have delivered the largest number of discourses. He spent 25 rainy seasons here, many at the Jetavana monastery.Logical Breakup
Logic 1: Option B is correct. The sheer volume of followers in Kosala led to a higher frequency of teachings in its capital.
Logic 2: Although he attained enlightenment at Bodhgaya and first preached at Sarnath, Shravasti was his primary 'base' for preaching later in life.
