Heart of the Buddha 7 - Right View
This title has been reviewed for accuracy.
Right View, the Five Mindfulness Trainings, and the Three Dharma Seals
Thầy teaches that Right View begins with understanding the Four Noble Truths, which are universal. It is essential to recognize and nurture wholesome seeds while avoiding unwholesome ones. Mindfulness helps us identify these seeds as they arise in our consciousness, allowing us to recognize and transform internal conflicts and suffering and practicing the Five Mindfulness Trainings helps eliminate fear and hatred.
Thầy explains that an authentically Buddhist teaching should bear the marks of the Three Dharma Seals: impermanence, non-self, and nirvāṇa. Understanding impermanence and non-self leads to insight and nirvāṇa, the cessation of all notions and concepts; the ground of being beyond dualities. Thầy describes this teaching as a guide for the right view.
This is the fourth talk in a series of twelve given during The Heart of the Buddha, twenty-one-day retreat in the year 1996. Thầy offered this talk at the Lower Hamlet, Plum Village, France.
