Great! If you have any feedback you can put it here.

The dedicated subreddit is proving to be more popular than expected: /r/dailySutta/

There are so many Vesak threads that this question may have been answered.

Which sutta states that our Buddha was born, enlightened & died on the Full Moon of Vaisakha?

Dhamma Wiki says:
Vesàkha (also spelled Vesak or Wesak) is the second month of the Buddhist calendar and it is traditionally believed that Siddhattha Gotama was born, enlightened and passed away on the full moon eve of the month of Vesàkha, although this is not specifically stated in the Tipitaka.
Guess that is the answer.
Good and evil have no fixed form. It's as easy to turn from doing bad to doing good as it is to flip over the hand from the back to the palm. It's simply up to us to do it. Master Hsuan Hua.

Yes, as far as I know it comes from the commentaries.

Some folks have been having a hard time getting the suttas delivered to them because of spam filters. If you are having difficulty getting the emails, feel free to post here and we can see if it can be troubleshooted. (is that a word? Troubleshot?)

It might be useful to tell users when they sign up that the address they need to allow in their spam filters is: [email protected].

Thanks! I have added that to the welcome message (people seem to get that just fine) as well as the success message.

For the month of July, all the suttas will be on the topic of "Listening to and learning the Dhamma".

They started on the 1st. You can catch up on the ones that have already been published here: https://daily.readingfaithfully.org/suttas/

Just as a bird, wherever it goes, flies with its wings as its only burden; so too is he content with a set of robes to provide for his body and almsfood to provide for his hunger. Wherever he goes, he takes only his barest necessities along. This is how a monk is content.(DN11)
