Buddhism – The Eightfold Path – 6. Wise Effort
Manage episode 473374989 series 3521493
Wise Effort, the sixth step of the Eightfold Path, is the foundation for developing concentration and leading a wholesome life. It involves the balanced application of energy and intention, recognising how our thoughts, speech, and actions impact ourselves and others. Self-awareness is key...examining whether our effort is driven by fear or faith, criticism or curiosity, judgment or discernment.
Wise Effort consists of four aspects: preventing unwholesome qualities, letting go of negativity with love, cultivating virtues like compassion and wisdom, and sustaining these qualities in daily life. It’s not about forceful striving but cultivating kindness, patience, and non-attachment.
Yoga supports Wise Effort through practices like stilling the mind, breath control, and contemplation. Reflection on our efforts helps refine actions aligned with well-being. Seeking guidance from teachers and communities can provide inspiration and support. Wise Effort is an ongoing process of patience and perseverance, fostering a heart and mind free from suffering.
