Advayavada Study Plan - week 7

Friends,

Last week's ASP subject was First Step on the Noble Eightfold Path: our very
best (samyak, samma) insight into the circumstances of our own life at the
present moment. This week's subject is therefore the Second Step on the
Noble Eightfold Path: our very best (samyak, samma) determination in view of
our 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. 'take decision!') in your pocket
diary!
