Teaching: Session One “Buddha’s Unsurpassable Medicine: Exploring the Eightfold Path


From sukhasiddhi.org

“We enter the Eightfold Path through the Fourth Noble Truths-- the Truth of the Path Out of Suffering. In the framework of the Buddha being the Physician, the Eightfold Path is the Medicine which eases the suffering from the endless sea of samsara. This Eightfold Path is our map to Awakening, our Timeless Medicine.

These eight guidelines show us areas in our lives we can implement to refine our attunement toward the cultivation of Bodhicitta. These guidelines are expansive, not restrictive, and when practiced, enable a life that both gives and receives love, awareness, and compassionate understanding in the greatest ways possible to us. It is within the Eightfold Path where we meet the Paramitas, because this path leads from the shore of an egoic, samsaric entrapment to the shore of immeasurable freedom of a life of interconnection and awakening.

As we build our moment-to-moment awareness, our mindfulness expands and engages the transformation of our spirit, aligning our horizontal engagement in the world and our communities with the vertical alignment with our own Buddha nature. The format of each session will be a presentation of materials first, followed with group discussion.”
