Buddhism: What is the 8-Fold Path? - Comparative Religion Course Lecture

[@bottosrob]

Hello Professor G! A wayward steel worker here. I stumbled onto your videos a few days ago. The way you convey the ideas of eastern traditions take away the ambiguity with which they are usually communicated. I don’t think anything is lost in not having that word game to decipher. The tone and rhythm of voice is also giving the lesson. Thank you for uploading it for free.

Guided self-psychotherapy…getting acquainted with the architecture of the mind…’going with’ its designs…transforming one’s sensation of self from alienation to inseparably opposite, “that.” Nirvana!

The eightfold path is not a relinquishing of suffering for happiness in the material body but relinquishing of all suffering in order to identify with the true eternal unchanging self. It has nothing to do with the material world other than disidentifying with the material word. It’s a negative methodology of knowing what the self by determining what the self is not because if one is identified with a temporal material worldly self upon death they will return to the material world rather that transcending to the immaterial world which is the source of all things, the principle of reality and the greatest thing which exist because it creates all things.
