Also a very provocative sutta is
SN56.11
, the one where is told the moment when the Wheel of Dhamma is set in Motion meaning this that once you have an subtle glimps of the Four Noble Truths the insight about this teaching is set in motion thorugh the development of "understanding" as a direct experience:
"Vision arose, insight arose, discernment arose, knowledge arose, illumination arose within me with regard to things never heard before: 'This is the noble truth of the cessation of stress'... 'This noble truth of the cessation of stress is to be directly experienced'... 'This noble truth of the cessation of stress has been directly experienced."
Thus, to "set in motion" the wheel of Dharma referes to this awakening to dukkha, to the origin of dukkha, to the cessation of dukkha and to the practice of the cessation of dukkha. Once the the wheel is set in motion, things will never be as they were before.
I feel this is good enough to start the practice of Right View...
