The Power of the Present Moment

Suburban Dharma

A Dharma talk at the IBMC Sunday service on Zoom, 8/15/21. Subodha shares how the lesson he is preparing for the kids in Dharma school on the Eightfold Path reminded him of a book he read over twenty years ago called Way of the Peaceful Warrior. He then contrasts one of the teachings from the book about the present moment with the Buddha’s teachings on “appropriate attention” showing how the Buddha teaches a purposeful directing of the mind to realizing the Four Noble Truths in meditation.
