Significance of Right View or Harmonious Perspective in the Noble Eightfold Path
Channel: Samatha Vipassana Trust
Date: 2021-09-16

The first fold in The Noble Eightfold Path is usually called RIGHT VIEW.  A human being’s ‘View’ actually means how one initially looks at any life event as it is experienced day by day. What is your perspective; how you will choose to see situations as they are occurring. We will look very closely at why this fold is the first fold in the path and how this might influence the other 7 folds that follow. How does all this concern the operation of your meditation and the rate of your development?

So, this is going to be a chance to test how you choose to see what is happening in life. An excellent reflection exercise to test out for a week!
