When venturing out on a difficult journey, it is helpful to have a map that lays out the terrain. According to MOI teacher Rev. Kyle Sorys, this is exactly what the Buddha intended when teaching the Noble Eightfold Path. In this week's talk, Rev. Kyle briefly touches on each aspect of the Eightfold Path in addition to explaining the Path in terms of the Three Trainings -- virtue, meditation, and wisdom. The point of practicing the Path is to cultivate insight and understanding. It's about seeing clearly. "Is the way we live aligned with reality?" Rev. Kyle asks. In cultivating the Path and living our lives in harmony with reality, we not only experience more peace and happiness, but we learn to let go and accept the messiness of ourselves and others in a deeply profound way.
