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.
The Noble Eightfold Path in Advayavada Buddhism is fully personalized: it is firmly based on what we increasingly know about ourselves and our world, and trusting our own feelings and conscience.
By following the Noble Eightfold Path thus you get in tune with wondrous overall existence advancing over time; old mistakes are left behind; sorrow, doubt and remorse immediately start disappearing; and your life soon gathers new impetus.
Last week's subject was the Sixth Step on the Noble Eightfold Path: our very best (samyak, samma) effort and commitment in carrying out our plans.
This week's subject is therefore the Seventh Step on the Noble Eightfold Path: our very best (samyak, samma) observation, reflection or evaluation and self-correction of our efforts.
The purpose of the ASP is that we study (and debate in the group, family circle or with good friends) 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, and our place and responsibilities in the group, sangha, society at large, etc.
Tip: Write down this week's subject (check what I'm doing) in your pocket diary!
