WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO FULLY DEVELOP THE NOBLE EIGHTFOLD PATH? - Dhamma Q&A

Welcome back to the Sutta Meditation Series Podcast.

A question received following the Esala Poya Dhamma Session on the Four Noble Truths:

“From the Stream Entry talk and subsequent Q&A, I think I understand what is meant around “not clinging to virtue and observances” – that virtue does not definitively lead to ultimate liberation, the Noble Eightfold Path does. My question is to do with the four developments and the Noble Eightfold Path, that you outlined in the Four Noble Truths talk. It seems that the virtue we are encouraged to cultivate on this Path has something to do with this. Can you please go over this again?”

Most of us in Dhamma understand the overall framework and component parts of the Noble Eightfold Path, however, not many are able to explain what the Buddha means by fully developing the Noble Eightfold Path (through development of body, virtue, mind and wisdom) and how it all comes together as the Path to Liberation, which is, the way leading to the end of the whole mass of suffering. If you understand this, then you begin to understand what is bhāvanā (what we call "meditation") that is taught by the Buddha.

To listen to the ESALA POYA FULL DHAMMA SESSION - https://tinyurl.com/24yd5drz
