The Noble Eightfold Path | TWOII podcast | Episode 87

In this installment, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and leadership coach/journalist Jo Confino discuss the Noble Eightfold Path, a fundamental teaching that was emphasized by the Buddha. The eight elements of the path are: right view, right thinking, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right diligence, right mindfulness, and right concentration. The hosts focus on each element and explain their interconnectedness and how they form a comprehensive approach to self-discovery, personal transformation, and spiritual development. Jo and Brother Phap Huu also emphasise the importance of making the Noble Eightfold Path relevant, accessible, and applicable to contemporary challenges and needs, and the role of Plum Village community in adapting these teachings. The episode ends with a short meditation guided by Brother Phap Huu. ------ 🔔 The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living is a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh’s deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. 🔔 ------ The podcast is co-produced by the Plum Village App: https://plumvillage.app/ And Global Optimism: https://globaloptimism.com/ With support from the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation: https://thichnhathanhfoundation.org/ ------ 🎧 Listen to the podcast on the (completely free) Plum Village App ➛ https://link.plumvillage.app/17zd and other streaming services. ------ Resources: Plum Village Community ➛ https://plumvillage.org 🎙️ Brother Phap Huu ➛ https://plumvillage.org/people/dharma-teachers/br-phap-huu 🎙️ Jo Confino ➛ https://www.instagram.com/joconfino/?hl=en Interbeing ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interbeing Dhyana in Buddhism ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhyana_in_Buddhism The Bodhi Tree ➛ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodhi_tree Dharma Talks: ‘Right Livelihood and True Love’ ➛ https://plumvillage.org/library/dharma-talks/right-livelihood-and-true-love 51 Mental Formations ➛ https://plumvillage.org/transcriptions/51-mental-formation The Way Out Is In: ‘Taming Our Survival Instinct (Episode #65)’ ➛ https://plumvillage.org/podcast/taming-our-survival-instinct-episode-65 Sister Lang Nghiem ➛ https://plumvillage.org/people/dharma-teachers/sr-lang-nghiem Sister True Dedication ➛ https://www.instagram.com/sistertruededication/ Brother Phap Ung ➛ https://plumvillage.org/people/dharma-teachers/brother-chan-phap-ung The Five Mindfulness Trainings ➛ https://plumvillage.org/mindfulness/the-5-mindfulness-trainings The Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings ➛ https://plumvillage.org/mindfulness/the-14-mindfulness-trainings Old Path White Clouds ➛ https://plumvillage.org/books/old-path-white-clouds-2
