Kirsten Rudestam - Orienting to our Practice: Exploring Wise View
Sammaditthi, often translated as "right" or "wise" view, is the first step of the Noble Eight-Fold Path. It is considered the fore-runner because wise view constitutes the wise understanding of the core teachings of the Buddha, thus giving direction to the rest of the path factors. Our views and understanding of ourselves and the world inform and guide all of our actions. This talk explores how we develop Sammaditthi both conceptually, and also experientially, from our own direct contact with the fundamental characteristics of this life -- impermanence, conditionality and causality.
