In this episode we briefly revisit the four noble truths so that we can discuss the 8 fold path, and how by itself it may pose an issue in regards to relativism, but how paired with something such as the beatitudes (out of Matthew chapter 5) can make the 8 fold path a useful tool on how to live well and to be at peace, and to also treat others compassionately and empathetically. In essence when one asks; “what is right/complete action as stated in the 8 fold path?” You can answer with the beatitude(s) that states; “blessed are those who show mercy, who are meek, who are humble.” The beatitudes complete the path, the path provides chances to practice the beatitudes, win win situation. Enjoy everybody! Be sure to check out the “No Nonsense Catholic” podcast with Mathew Arnold for two lengthier more in depth discussions on the beatitudes.
