In this talk in our series of talks on the Eightfold Path, we’ll explore how the path begins on the inside with Right View and Right Intention. The way we interpret what’s happening and the motivations we bring, quietly shape everything. We’ll look at how to recognize unhelpful momentum, reconnect with what matters, and let the path become something lived rather than merely understood.
The Noble Eightfold Path isn’t just a set of ideals, it’s a practical way through the tangles of daily life. What we receive from the Path depends on how we practice it: as an occasional reference point, or as something we weave into the ordinary moments of our days. This talk introduces a talk series on bringing the Eightfold Path meaningfully into our lives.
Most of us know the quiet sense that something is not quite right. In this talk we’ll explore how the way forward can emerge from within the very moments that once felt so wrong.
This talk explores equanimity—a steadiness of heart that allows us to meet life’s challenges. Through stories, similes, and reflections, we’ll see how equanimity is not indifference but a warm, caring presence that holds life lightly while engaging fully.
It’s not uncommon to think of insight as cool clarity, but its deepest power may arise through the warmth of the heart.

Humans love stories. Part of the path of practice is to not only help us see the unspoken stories in our lives but also to help us discern whether they support greater freedom or not.
In this talk we will explore a well-known Buddhist story, inquiring how we can apply the learnings in the story to our own lives.
Sometimes we might feel submerged with suffering. The Buddha pointed to this experience and gave instructions on how we can create a raft to carry us to safety.
