TOPIC FOR THE Wednesday, April 17, 2024-NOTE: DHARMA TALKS FOR APRIL 17 AND APRIL 24 WILL BE ON ZOOM ONLY. PETER IS ON RETREAT IN THE DHARMA HALL SO THERE WILL BE NO IN PERSON MEETING.
This week’s dharma talk explores the 7th step in the teaching of the Buddha called “The Noble Eightfold-Path.” This 7th step is Right Mindfulness. We will explore this key practice that has been described as the watch guard of the mind and an aid to recognize, prevent and release craving and clinging that causes suffering. We will also present an overview of the four foundations of mindfulness discussed in the Buddha’s teachings that are documented in the Satipatthana Sutta. Each of these foundations will be explored in further depth in the upcoming weeks. April Koester will be giving this talk.
We will begin at 7pm with 45 minutes of meditation and then have the dharma talk.

Reviewing Right Intention
This talk by Allie Vaknin continues an ongoing review of the Four Noble Truths, specifically focusing on a function of the Wisdom Aggregate of the Noble Eightfold Path, Right Intention. Allie describes different manifestations of Right Intention: Renunciation of unwholesomeness, Kindness, and Compassion. This recording includes several comments and questions posed by those participating in the group.
Next week’s talk will begin a review of the Virtue Aggregate of the Noble Eightfold Path, during which Peter will focus on Right Speech, including the value of bringing Right Intention to our internal self-talk as well as what we say interpersonally.
