The Eightfold Noble Path, Part III: Coming to Freedom through Meditation and Wisdom

/in /by

This week’s talk, given by Lama Kathy Wesley, is entitled, “The Eightfold Noble Path, Part III: Coming to Freedom through Meditation and Wisdom.”

After changing our view of the world through the Buddha’s Four Noble Truths and changing our words and actions to respect the laws of action, cause and effect, we gain the power to reduce our suffering and increase our happiness. This, in turn, gives us a chance to experience our minds as they truly are, free from confusion and self-fixation and full of the promise of awakening. Lama Kathy concludes this series on the Eightfold Noble Path by describing how Right Effort leads to Right Mindfulness and Right Samadhi, or meditative ease.
