First Clarinet No. 2
This is the second installment of the "Clarinet" series.  I just acquired the clarinet a few days ago and yesterday I finally had reeds for my instrument.  Today I had the center joint fixed by getting it re-corked.  Now I can actually make some coherent sounds.  It still needs about $50 work repading and repairing leaks.  http://youtu.be/cfa7vVhh2gk

Truthfulness
In the same way I saw an ancient path, an ancient road, traveled by the Rightly Self-awakened Ones of former times. And what is that ancient path, that ancient road, traveled by the Rightly Self-awakened Ones of former times? Just this noble eightfold path: right view, right aspiration, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right concentration...I followedthat path. Following it, I came to direct knowledge of aging & death, direct knowledge of the origination of aging & death, direct knowledge of the cessation of aging & death, direct knowledge of the path leading to the cessation of aging & death...Knowing that directly, I have revealed it to monks, nuns, male lay followers & female lay followers...
