Several days of fun pali lessons featuring AN 7.67 ๐Ÿฐ the fortress: one of the greatest suttas of all time



I've surely spent more than 10 hours alone on just rearranging the sutta text, expanding it into a complete form (filling in all peyyaala elisions) and massaging the pali to make it readable and easy to see the root and key words in the many compound words obscured by sandhi.


Yesterday I recorded it as a pali chant, 25 min. Slower than normal conversational speed, but faster than how most people chant.


Here are the links to the sutta text and audio.
Be sure to check out the partitioned version, to directly jump to interesting sections directly (corresponding to the sutta text table of contents)

AN 7.67 - ๐Ÿ”—๐Ÿ”Š ๐Ÿฐ study and memorize the key ideas. This is one of the best suttas in the EBT to help you understand exactly how each of the path factors in 8aam, 7sb, 37bp, interact with each other, what duties they share and overlap.


Main point of fun pali lessons for the next few days


Building on the simple concepts we've learned so far, you'll be able to recognize many words in this sutta, and learn some new ones easily because they're so similar to words you already know.
