You still need to “listen” to someone either thru audio or audio-video who understand Dhamma. It works on whole different level then

Somewhere already on the forum, and I think it was Mr. Lal who referred to the issue of this “need to listen” and it was that the message itself, which comes from Ariya, is important and can be read as well, what matters is understanding and implementation in practice. This issue of listening strictly may come from a time where there was a problem with access to print, it appears as some kind of superstition, or something of the caliber of a “ritual” – just a thing by force, a dogma of some kind. I have access to PureDhamma content, and I don’t think that by reading it and putting it into practice I am at a disadvantage to those who understand English enough to catch every important nuance and benefit from it.
