Bite Sized Buddhism 12 - The Eightfold Path - Part 4

Many people find it difficult to have gratitude. We are always on a quest for something, restlessly we move toward one thing and another in our search for happiness. We need a better job, a loving partner, a new car, a more desirable place to live, a better diet, more exercise and so forth.  However, to be grateful, to experience gratitude we have to stop or at least pause for a bit in order to notice and appreciate the abundance in our lives right now.

Bite Sized Buddhism Looks At Gratitude

This week we discussed the first Paramita (perfection) which is Generosity. This is a quality that naturally flows from the heart of Basic Goodness which is the essence of Being. As practitioners on the Path we still are in need of perfecting this quality as our giving is often conditional and transactional. We often give in order to get, so we look to the examples of the realized Bodhisattvas for examples of selfless giving for inspiration.

Bite Sized Buddhism 29 - Far Reaching Generosity

This session covers the second paramita, the Perfection of Ethical Conduct. Here we examine the notion that ethics arise out of a feeling of kindness toward others and establishing harmlessness in thought, word and deed. Ethical conduct must start with ourselves before we can be of benefit to others so that our example carries the essence of Love, Wisdom, Compassion and Equanimity.

Bite Sized Buddhism 30 - Far Reaching Ethical Discipline

This session focuses on the Perfection of Joyful Effort and it's relationship with joy, devotion and spaciousness. It is called perfect joy when you transcend your own desire for a particular outcome and your resistance to other outcomes. It is the embrace of things as they are and seeing that everything is moving toward basic goodness.

Bite Sized Buddhism 35 - Avoiding Hypocrisy

This verse goes into depth regarding the perils of harsh speech. The verse zeros in on avoiding criticisms one may have regarding a Bodhisattva especially but in practice, negative judgements, harsh criticsm and gossip toward anyone is harmful. We may enter into a situation where we think we are justified in trying to correct the impression someone has of another, bit in truth we are only harming ourselves and our reputation as we do so.

The conditions we face in life of our own making. As we correct our view, speech and actions we increase the causes that produce happiness and wisdom. Buddhism is a Path that emphasizes that we are the authors of our life story. Growth is always self-initiated and we can increase our spiritual wealth and experiences without waiting for favorable circumstances or special blessings.
