The fourth "fold" in the 8 Fold Path of Buddhism is all about action, conduct. It is about our choices and behaviours, very similar to the Yamas of Patanjali. Are your actions contributing to the ease and well being of all concerned or are they disrupting the peace?

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary? In this episode we discuss the Buddhist teaching on Realistic Speech and look at how are perception of things along with our choice of words can hurt others.

The second teaching on the 8 Fold Path of the Buddha is Realistic Intention. In this episode we discuss motivation and Resistance.

Realistic Worldview is the first of the 8 Fold Path as taught by Buddha. Having a realistic understanding of how things work, being able to apply intellect, science, wisdom to the reality of causation aides us in being liberated from suffering.

The 4th Noble Truth is the offering of the 8 Fold Path. First we are given the diagnosis and then we are offered the prescription!

The Buddha taught that there can be complete cessation of suffering. In this episode we will unpack that Noble Truth or friendly fun fact as Bob Thurman calls them!

The 2nd Noble Truth, as taught by the Buddha, is all about the causes of suffering. Hint, it has to do with separation of Self & Other.

Surprise! Life is Suffering. In this episode we unpack that friendly fact (so named by Professor Thurman) and see what we find.

Let's embark on a journey together! I'd like to share the teachings of the Buddha, most notably, the 4 Noble Truths & the 8 Fold Path. Here we go!

I met Green Tara on September 25th, 2006. In this episode, I share my journey into Buddhism and my "accidental" kundalini awakening. I'm happy I didn't choose to go Fall boot shopping that day!
