Bhante Sujato. Meditation on mindfulness of the breath. Dhamma talk on Ālavaka the Yakkha from the second stanza of the Jaya-maṅgala Gāthā. Alavaka's role as a local deity, the local deities that people erected shrines to and the role Buddhism had in stopping ritual sacrifice as seen in the gentleness and conversion of Ālavaka in Ālavaka Sutta. Around 20 minutes of recording was missed, on the Chinese Dhammapada on Ālavaka (Page 215).
