Q: Would an arahant get physically exausted if he/she was to exersise, like if they were to run 5 miles? Would this in anyway shake their mind?

Through many of Yuttadhammo's videos and accesstoinsight, I have learned a vast amount of knowledge on the Buddha's teachings.

I am riddled by this question lately and it necessary for my progress on path of Dhamma. My question is, why is it that in this life time I have became obsessively bent to attain *nibbana* while everyone around me is living in total oblivion. I mean if I had so many rebirths in past lives exactly what was I doing all these quantillion lives, was I never told the *dhamma*. If I was told, then why am I not already enlightened. Was I dumb or something all these lives not to have awaken to the truth of suffering? What must have been my mistake all these lives? How can I rectify that mistake so that I can felicitate my *nibbana* in this life?

Namo Buddhaya. At many places in the texts it is said that the Buddha had set the wheel of dhamma in motion and that it can not be rolled back by anyone. This sutta is devoted to the understanding of wheel of dhamma. My questions are based on the above sutta(I am looking for the answer to the first question mainly but you can answer the rest if you want.) : 1. What is meant by setting the "wheel" of Dharma in motion? Why is it called a wheel? 2. In the sutta mentioned above following is said : > But when my knowledge and vision of these Four Noble Truths as they > really are in *their three phases and twelve aspects* was thoroughly > purified in this way, then I claimed to have awakened What are the three phases and twelve aspects of Dhamma? 3. In the same sutta mentioned above, Buddha says : > “‘This *noble truth of the origin of suffering is to be abandoned*’: > thus, bhikkhus, in regard to things unheard before, there arose in me > vision, knowledge, wisdom, true knowledge, and light. Why the noble Truth of the origin of suffering is to be abandoned ? (I think craving needs to be abandoned and not the Truth)
