In this episode, we continue with our discussion of the Eightfold Path to Awakening, focusing on "Right Action." And we take a look at a sort of Buddhist 10 Commandments. (I'm just kidding!)

Today, I take a look at the third part of the Eightfold Path, which is often translated as "Right Speech." And I also want to say Thank You to my Nana. Listen to this episode and you'll hear why.

In this episode, we are looking at the second part of the Eightfold Path, which relates to our emotions, aspirations, and intentions. This is all about doing what you do from a place of loving kindness and compassion...for your Self and for Others.

The first episode about the Buddha's Eightfold Path to Awakening (Nirvana...not the band). This is all about understanding the true, no kidding, true nature of reality.

Today, I talk about the Buddha's Fourth Noble Truth and then provide a short introduction to the Eightfold Path to our Awakening.

This episode provides a short overview of the Buddha's Third Noble Truth, that all of our suffering can be ended. And then I'll explore some of the hidden ironies this Noble Truth contains. For example, if our suffering can be ended by learning to let go of our attachments to the things in this world, it is easy to become attached to the practice of releasing our attachment...bringing us right back where we started. This is the third in a series of episodes about the Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path.

This episode provides a short overview of the Buddha's Second Noble Truth, that all of our suffering has a cause, and then we start to explore that idea in the context of our Western mindset. This is the second in a series of episodes about the Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path.

I want to provide a short overview of the Buddha's First Noble Truth (most often translated as "life is suffering") and start to explore it in the context of our Western mindset. This is the first in a series of episodes about the Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path.

This is the first episode in almost a year (about 350 days or so) and I just want to reintroduce the podcast. We will start regular episodes tomorrow.
