First Factor of the Eightfold Path with Noah Levine

March 7th, 2022

Eightfold Path First Factor - Understanding

Awareness and understanding are ultimately what will allow us to change our relationship to our present time experiences and end the cycles of craving and suffering.

The first part is understanding the Four Truths. As we gain this understanding we begin to see ourselves and our experiences through the lens of the Four Truths.

Finally, understanding that it's really quite simple - You're either attached or nonattached, you're either clinging and craving or not.
