Sorry about the terrible audio in this one. We're new to this format. Hopefully, the next one will be better.

In today's episode:

• Setting the Wheel of Dhamma in Motion Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta (SN 56:11)
• Mahavagga, Khandaka 1, Chapter 6

In the event of actual enlightenment, please clean that messy spot you've been ignoring.
