A brief overview of the Eightfold Path. Often described as the "middle way," it offers a way of life that avoids the extremes of self-indulgence and self-denial. The path is a guide to ethical living, mental discipline, and wisdom, and it's divided into three categories: wisdom (Right View and Right Intention), ethical conduct (Right Speech, Right Action, and Right Livelihood), and mental discipline (Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration). Each of these steps is interconnected, supporting the others like spokes in a wheel. Right View, the first step, is foundational. Bhikkhu Bodhi describes it as "the forerunner of the path," because how we perceive and understand the world shapes every decision we make. Right View invites us to see life as it truly is, rather than how we wish it to be. It's about aligning our perspective with reality—a reality that includes impermanence, interconnectedness, and the causes and conditions of suffering. Jack Kornfield puts it beautifully: "The wise heart sees the universal truths of change, suffering, and interdependence. When we see these truths clearly, we respond to life with balance and compassion." Gil Fronsdal once said, "Right View is not just about having correct beliefs; it's about seeing clearly in a way that transforms the heart." This transformation happens when we align our understanding with the Four Noble Truths: that suffering exists, it has a cause, it can end, and there's a path to its cessation. By integrating these truths into our lives, we begin to see challenges not as insurmountable problems but as opportunities for growth and awakening. Tara Brach: "Awakening self-compassion is often the greatest challenge people face on the spiritual path. It's also the most transformative. When we practice seeing clearly with kindness, we open the door to healing and freedom."

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "Just-Right Concentration"

In this episode I am once again joined by Leigh Brasington, Buddhist meditation teacher and author of ‘Right Concentration, A Practical Guide to the Jhanas'. Leigh discusses his latest book, ‘Gradual Training: The Buddha's Step-by-Step Guide for Awakening', in which Leigh lays a 13 step training which culminates in enlightenment. Leigh explains the scriptural origins of this formulation, why it is so crucial for meditation success, and speculates as to why it is so rarely taught by Buddhist teachers in America. Leigh also emphasises the importance of moral precepts, wrestles with contradictions in the Buddhist scriptures, considers how the scriptures have been altered over the centuries, and reveals his opinion of Buddhist claims to psychic powers. … Video version: https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep253-the-buddhist-path-leigh-brasington Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics Include: 00:00 - Intro 00:53 - Leigh's latest book 02:09 - A life changing meditation encounter 03:00 - The gradual training 05:05 - Training in insight practice under Ayya Khema 05:49 - Leigh's insight journey 07:31 - Why isn't gradual training taught in Western Buddhism? 07:55 - Buddhist teacher schtick 09:00 - People don't teach the suttas 09:47 - 13 steps to awakening 12:23 - Origin and evolution of the 13-step Gradual Training 13:23 - The Buddhist scriptures have been tampered with 15:23 - Evolution of the doctrine of 12 links of dependent origination 16:34 - Philological implications 17:51 - Did the Buddha have supernatural powers? 21:59 - Contradictions in Buddhist scripture 24:11 - Early vs late suttas 26:20 - When were the suttas composed? 29:39 - When was the gradual training devised? 31:11 - Gradual training vs Lamrim 32:35 - Fruits of the spiritual life 36:38 - Keeping the precepts 40:08 - Guarding the senses 42:41 - Mindfulness and clear comprehension 44:47 - Contentment with little 47:04 - Overcoming hinderances 49:12 - Are psychic powers real? 50:14 - Meditation or morality? 54:13 - Consequences of skipping ethics 58:05 - Do the precepts spoil the fun of life? 01:01:19 - What makes practice life changing? 01:02:36 - Enjoyment without attachment 01:04:17 - The power of motivation to change habits 01:06:19 - How Leigh gave up pot and sweets 01:08:19 - How to do insight practice 01:09:08 - Future writing projects 01:13:30 - Why Leigh publishes his books for free … Previous episodes with Leigh Brasington: - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=brasington To find our more about Leigh Brasington visit: - http://www.leighb.com/ For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com Music ‘Deva Dasi' by Steve James
