The Eight-fold Path

Kris's Address today is on the Buddhist approach to living - The "Eight-fold Path" to Enlightenment, based on the Four Noble Truths:-

• that suffering is an inevitable part of living-
• - whose causes can be determined.
• It's possible to escape suffering and-
• there is a path - the "eight-fold path" we can follow to  end suffering.

The Buddha's practical guide to effective living is as relevant to our living today as it was 2,500 years ago.

Kris explains the Eight-fold path: Right View; Right Intention (or Resolve); Right Speech; Right Action; Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness; Right Concentration. The Eight-fold Path is not an ordered sequence of steps to follow - but more like eight spokes of a wheel, each playing their part - in keeping the wheel turning, true! And then there's the role of Meditation. Kris also sets us some homework! - And some challenges!
