2023/02/16

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast. Following on from the unexpected visit to the hospital and taking the opportunity to contemplate the Dhamma, we now take a look at the importance of prioritising Dhamma, not Kamma.

Kamma keeps us bound to saṁsāra and this whole mass of suffering, while Dhamma (Buddha's true teachings and instructions) helps us to realise complete
