Master of Spiritual Leadership
Lesson 2 Eight Fold Path Part 1
Right View
Refer to the first part of the wisdom in the Noble Eightfold Path but in fact all the parts are interlocked together
Right view come from the mind it begin with the intuitive insight that all beings are subject to suffering and it ends with complete understanding of the true nature of all things
Our view of the world forms our thoughts and our actions
Right view yield right thoughts and right actions
Right view for me is everything coming from the mind starting with the physical aspect of everything
Right view is perceive first with eyes sense mind it is the cognitive aspect of the wisdom
Right Intention
Mental energy that controls our actions It is more as a commitment to ethical and mental self improvement
3 types of right intention
- Intention of renunciation
(resistance to the pull of desire)
- Intention of good will
(resistance to feeling of anger and aversion)
- Intention of harmlessness
(not to see or act cruelly violently develop compassion)
Right intention for me is more at the heart center
Right View and Right Intention goes well together you can think of the heart and the mind working toward the perfect wisdom
Ethnical Conduct
For Buddha is the alignment with the truth
The guide line to the moral discipline
There are 4 parts in the ethical conduct
Right speech
Right action
Right livelihood
Right effort

You’ve been doing what your belief statement say?
Why ? or Why not?
This is an on going process and every day I live happily toward these goals, these gifts
Some time better than others but I always do my best to follow these life principles that I choose
With these goals in my mind and in my heart I want to be an example for my kids and leave a legacy to be able to live in a better world
What do you need to change in your life?
I need to have more determination
Be more pro active
And have no expectation of any kind from others
Just follow some more principles
Keep the Best and let go of the rest
Love and Let Go
Give and Let Go
Let Go and Let GOD
