Sangarava Sutta: To Sangarava
AN 3.60
Buddha was firmly of the opinion that teaching was the highest 'miracle'
"Brahman, there are these three miracles. Which three? The miracle of psychic power, the miracle of telepathy, & the miracle of instruction.

"As for the miracle where a certain person gives instruction in this way .... this is the miracle that, of the three, appeals to me as the highest & most sublime.

Obviously he taught the Dhamma, (Dhamma can be understood as 'Truth')

A great deal of the Buddha's teaching are to do with living a highly moral life,it's not possible to become Enlightened while living an immoral life.
