While we are still on vacation we Rewind to part one of our first season special on the Buddhist Eight-Fold Path. 

Episode 20 – The Buddhist Eight-Fold Path Part 1 of 3

This week we have felt particularly saturated and inundated with news of political, and world events. We speak about how it has infiltrated our lives in such a big way recently, and how we are working through it. The conversation evolves into compassion, and how we speak with those around us which naturally leads into our topic for our three part series on The Eight Fold Path.

In our Deep Dive Segment we start our discussion of the Eight Fold Path of the Buddhist traditions. Sometimes called the 8 Rights, these precepts are often broken up into 3 categories. This week we begin with exploring wisdom and understanding with Right Understanding or View, and Right thought or intention. We explore the traditional meanings behind these concepts and discuss how to fit them into our day to day lives in the world we find ourselves. We have special mention of D. W. Winnicott and his development of “Good Enough Parenting”.

Our Off The Rails is actually a short conversation we had earlier this year about Lorri being ungrounded and having us having fun around the times that we have troubles being ungrounded.
