Buddha's Teachings Part 3: The Noble Eightfold Path
Episode 36
Published 8 years, 9 months ago
Description
In his very first sermon, delivered over 2,500 years ago, Shakyamuni Buddha taught the Noble Eightfold Path. In this episode I describe this teaching and each of the eight aspects of the path. I also explain why Buddhism resists being summed up even by the simple and elegant formula of the Eightfold Path, because this teaching just one "lens" among many with which to view Buddhist practice.
