'''Deer Park''' (Skt. ''ṛṣipatana'') is the place where the [[Buddha]] gave his first teaching, the 'First Turning of the Wheel of the [[Dharma]]' (see [[Three Turnings]]), at [[Sarnath]] near Varnasi. Today [[pilgrimage|pilgrims]] can visit the place where relics of the Buddha are kept. The [[Jataka]] mentions that the Buddha in one of his previous lives was born there as a golden deer who saved the life of a pregnant deer and the name 'Deer Park' derives from this occasion when [[Shakyamuni]] was a [[bodhisattva]] leading a herd of deer.
