Advayavada Study Plan - week 6

Friends,

We have handled the preliminary subjects, and this week's ASP subject is
again the First Step on the Noble Eightfold Path: our very best (samyak,
samma) comprehension of or insight into our own life at the present moment
in time - in other words, what is, honestly, my personal situation at this
time?

In Advayavada Buddhism, the Noble Eightfold Path is interpreted dynamically
as an ongoing and autonomous, non-prescriptive, investigative and creative
process of progressive insight reflecting in human terms overall existence
advancing over time. By following the Noble Eightfold Path thus you get in
tune with wondrous overall existence advancing over time; sorrow, doubt and
remorse immediately start disappearing; and your life at once gathers new
impetus.

The purpose of the ASP is that we study and discuss the meaning and
implications of the weekly subject particularly in the context of whatever
we ourselves are presently doing or are concerned with, or about, such as
our health, relationships, work, study, our place in society, etc.

Tip: Write down this week's subject (e.g. 'my situation') in your pocket
diary!
