score:5
Accepted answer
If you know the name of the sutta, and if it's a famous sutta, then I find you can easily find it using Google, for example:
- This search (Google)
Wikipedia too has many articles about Buddhism, and one of them describes this sutta:
- Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta (Wikipedia)
At the end of the Wikipedia article are "External links" to translations and commentaries and so on:
- External links (from Wikipedia)
This Buddhism.SE site's Help page includes a list of "Useful resources", one section of which is "Buddhist Texts", which includes several anthologies of suttas.
Looking in each of the collections mentioned in our list of "Useful resources", I found the following (seven) links to the sutta you asked for:
Setting in Motion the Wheel of the Dhamma (SuttaCentral)
Four translations, on Access to Insight:
Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta (Buddha Vacana)
The Discourse on the Turning of the Wheel of Truth (Dharmafarer, PDF)
