What is a sutta?
A sutta is a discourse from the earliest Buddhist texts – practical teachings on how the mind works, why we suffer, and how we can live with more clarity and steadiness.
There are thousands of them, but many are long or difficult to read.
SuttaDay brings these teachings into everyday life by sharing them one at a time, in a simple and accessible way.
