Virtue as a Path to Awakening - Cliff Wallshein

A talk exploring how the 8 fold path acts to stabilize and deepen the experience of the first 3 noble truths.
From his own empirical experience the Buddha made sure his followers had the tools they needed to be , “a light on to themselves”.

In baking a cake there is a purpose to each step. In Buddhist practice each step leads us down the path to awakening.

The 2,500 year method that puts an end to delusion and the suffering is called 3 Aspects of the 8 fold path.

They are Sila , Samadhi and Prajna or Virtue, mediation and wisdom.
First Fold : Sila
Buddha observed the law of cause and effect, you do negative things you get negative experiences . In Buddhism there is no one to save you, there is also no one to punish you. You have to take responsibility for your own actions. The Buddhist guide to behavior is called the precepts. Basically don’t kill, steal, lie or fool around with your neighbor’s spouse. If you do people won’t like you much and will generally make your life miserable. 
So to start the practice the first thing you do is create a foundation relatively free from guilt ,chaos and conducive to self esteem, by avoiding the negative actions that are the results of deluded thinking …even if you don’t know what that yet is. All religions seemed to got this one figured out.

Second fold : Prajna
Is the intellectual knowledge of how reality works, that you will use as a map and catalyst in you meditation practice. It s like the eggs and flour used in cake batter its crucial to making the cake but without the heat of the oven you don’t get cake.
This includes the basic teachings of Buddhist wisdom such as ,, the 4 noble truths, dependent origination and emptiness.

Third fold is Meditation or mind training ***
The mind training that creates the optimal conditions for awakening to take place.
Its purpose is to develop a consciousness powerful enough to consistently monitor and observe the subtle movements of attention. The way attention affects your state of mind .As well as the constantly changing impersonal and often contradictory thoughts feelings memories we associate with a sense of self .

Higher training explanation of the Anapanasati Sutta

Anapanasati

A newly published translation and study of Tāranātha’s Commentary on the Heart Sūtra (Sher phyin snying po’i mdo’i tshig ’grel) was written by Tāranātha (1575–1634), widely considered to be one of the greatest Tibetan Buddhist scholars, translators and practitioners. The leitmotif of the text is Tāranātha’s five-fold assertion in various places that the Sūtra ‘clearly teaches the Empty-of-Other Great Madhyamaka’. This, for Tāranātha, confirms that ‘the intention of all three Turnings [of the Dharma Wheel] is the Empty-of-Other Great Madhyamaka’. A few copies of the book will be available for purchase at the lecture (700 NPR) and one book is also now available for loan at the RYI Library.

the Connection between Empty-of-Other view (gzhan stong)
and Prajñāpāramitā.
