Heart Wisdom with Jack Kornfield

CHAPTER

The Eightfold Path Is the Heart of the Way of Awakening

We are focusing on the Eightfold Path, which is a teaching that the Buddha gave in the very first afternoon of his teaching. When he met his old friends who he'd been practicing with in the forest before he went off alone to seek his last stage of his practice of enlightenment. He taught a combination of the four noble truths as being the heart or the essence of the way of awakening. Right action is traditionally taught as the major aspect of the precepts. We talked a lot that night about using speech as a way to become mindful or conscious or aware and to be helpful and truthful with it.
