Sevenfold Wise Meditation | Noble Eightfold Path Revealed | Right Concentration

A complete exploration of noble eightfold path, how it works and how to meditate, using it as our framework. I this Dhamma talk, we elaborate on the topic of wise mental collectedness (or nowadays translated as "right concentration") and how the Buddha taught that the noble eightfold path was the way to samādhi ("concentration") or mental unity, using the virtues and precepts as a way to gladden the mind and cultivating right intentions (wise attitude).

Sri Lanka Retreat talk by Bhante Ānanda, in January 2024.
