Der achtfache Pfad ist ein zentraler Pfeiler in Buddhas Lehre. Darin enthalten sind die fundamentalen Bereiche von Ethik, Geistesschulung und Weisheit. Die acht Pfadglieder decken ein breites Spektrum der Lehre ab und sind quasi die Methode innerhalb der vier Wahrheiten aus Buddhas erster Rede.

Bringing Our Practice to the Current Difficult Times
56:10

Sometimes it is thought that Buddhist practice is exclusively about "inner" transformation. However, the Buddha himself spoke of going out for the benefit of others and understood basic ethical guidelines socially. Later approaches and tradition, such as embodied in the rule of King Ashoka and the Mahayana vision of the bodhisattva, also manifest the connection of inner and outer transformation.
In this talk, a contemporary "Eightfold Path" is offered to support connecting inner and outer transformation--bringing our practice into engagement with our contemporary society and world in great need. There are three wisdom guidelines, two meditation guidelines, and three ethical guidelines. The talk is followed by discussion.

Anapanasati: The Buddha's Teaching on Mindfulness of Breathing

Working with the Anapanasati Sutta in some depth. There are 16 steps in four tetrads that the Buddha lays out regarding how to practice this way. It is more than simply keeping one's attention on the experience of breathing. Some of the steps will likely surprise you. I thought it would be interesting to hear how the Buddha himself practiced using the breath and then practice together as he suggested.
