Joseph Goldstein explores the importance of Right View and how it illuminates our lives through an openness to wisdom from many unexpected sources. The Satipatthana Sutta is one of the most celebrated and widely studied discourses in the Pāli Canon of Theravada Buddhism. This episode is the 40th part of an in-depth 48-part weekly lecture series from Joseph Goldstein that delves into every aspect of the Satipatthana Sutta. If you are just now jumping into the Satipatthana Sutta series , listen to Insight Hour Ep. 203 to follow along and get the full experience! This time on Insight Hour, Joseph discusses: Not being attached to blind belief or blind disbelief Realizing the truth through direct experience Remaining open to wisdom from unexpected sources The possibility of a full awakening and we can develop our wisdom over time Recognizing that there truly are many awakened beings in the world The aspects of Right View that may not be immediately apparent Considering what wisdom can discover when it illuminates our experience Promoting the good of living beings through right view How Right View is both the beginning and the ending Wrong view as the most blame-worthy of all things, according to the Buddha How Wrong View makes us obsess over the self (gratifying it, defending it, etc.) The great power of delusion in our minds Refining our awareness of the impermanent changing nature of the 5 aggregates (everything we experience) This episode was originally published on Dharmaseed Grab a copy of the book Joseph references throughout this series, Satipaṭṭhāna: The Direct Path to Realization , HERE "We could see Right View as both the beginning and end of the path. We start with Right View—it sets the direction for us. Our practice is leading us in the right direction and then the whole path culminates in these understandings." – Joseph Goldstein See Privacy Policy at and California Privacy Notice at .
