Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.
This is the first part of a series looking into "What the Buddha Taught", based on a teaching by Venerable Sariputta in the Saṅgīti Sutta (DN 33) - Reciting Together - an extended collection of the Buddha's teachings grouped by numerical sequence.
In examining this sutta in a gradual way, it offers a different approach to learning the Dhamma. We take the opportunity to:

familiarise ourselves with pali words and phrases and delving into their true meanings;
extend and improve our pali vocabulary and pronunciation
reduce any anxiety, confusion or frustration that we might have towards pali and Dhamma that we aren't familiar with
learn new Dhamma, or revisit things we have already covered;
get a birds-eye view (or even learn a little more) of what the Buddha taught;
reference other teachings of the Buddha and the noble arahants to help understand parts of the Sangiti Sutta
use this as a way of reciting and memorising the Buddha's teachings
enable the spiritual path to grow and last longer
