RE: The Buddhist 10 Fold Path

in #life • 7 years ago

Love the detail and care you put into this post. I’ve sometimes thought right view is the back of my eyelids...

Seriously though I hadn’t even heard of the 9th and 10th aspects of the Buddhist path. Your passion is contagious. I’m more intrigued with meditation than I’ve been in a while. thanks for bringing this great content to steemit!

    Thank you @mountainjewel, I have often wondered about all that movement behind my eyelids, I see lots of tiny dots that change color....but that is not right view and I was full of stress when I started back in the early 90s...I don't know if it is my age or my practice, maybe both, I'm not as stressed as I was back in my early 30s...hahaha (family is grown and I left an abusive husband.)

    Right view is has to do with how we handle stress

    This is stress

    "Now this, monks, is the Noble Truth of dukkha: Birth is dukkha, aging is dukkha, death is dukkha; sorrow, lamentation, pain, grief, & despair are dukkha; association with the unbeloved is dukkha; separation from the loved is dukkha; not getting what is wanted is dukkha. In short, the five clinging-aggregates are dukkha."

    "And what is right view? Knowledge with regard to stress, knowledge with regard to the origination of stress, knowledge with regard to the cessation of stress, knowledge with regard to the way of practice leading to the cessation of stress: This is called right view."
