This Sunday I will facilitate on Right View from Thich Nhat Hanh’s book “The Heart of the Buddha’s Teaching, Transforming Suffering into Peace, Joy and Liberation.” Right View is the first practice of the Noble Eightfold Path, and can lead to a deep understanding of the Four Noble Truths. Our teacher, “Thay" says that at the base of our views are our perceptions and the Buddha advised us not to be fooled by what we perceive when he stated “Where there is perception, there is deception.” Most of our perceptions are erroneous and therefore cause most of our suffering. Until we see clearly, our wrong perceptions will prevent us from having right view. Touching reality deeply and knowing what is going on inside and outside of ourselves is the way to liberate ourselves. We water the seeds of right view when we practice mindful living.
In gratitude,
