After Enlightenment - 7 Weeks (Sath Sathiya)

score:3

Accepted answer

There was a possibility that Buddha stayed in Uruvela forest more than four(4) weeks. It was mentioned in Mahavagga Pali, section 6, end of paragraph 10 but it did not specify exactly 3 weeks more or places of additional weeks. The last line of that paragraph here

][1]

did mention Buddha stayed more than four(4) weeks probably made the best timing for five foremost monks for first discourse.

If found about this more details in any sutta, I'll update here.

Mahavagga Paliya, Kahnadaka clearly says Buddha stayed 5 weeks (not 4) after enlightenment.

  1. First week - Under the Bo-tree. Templating on Patichchasamuppada. (Chain of causation)
  2. Second week - Under Ajapal banyan tree. Meeting a brahamin
  3. Third week - Under the cover of Muchalinda, the serpent.
  4. Forth week - Under the Rajayatana tree. Meeting two merchants
  5. Fifth week - Again under Ajapal banyan tree. Meeting Sahampathi brahma
