Dhammarato DhammaGathering the Factors | Tyler #3 | 7.26.21Dhammarato shares the teaching of the Buddha, offering a little change in the conventional practice of the 8 Fold Noble Path. He suggests to start with Purification of the mind (Samadhi) while seeing the reality of the situation (Panna) without requiring seclusion (Sila) first. He also gives a useful working definition of "reaction" as an acquired habitual relationship of the human to the world akin to that of the relationship between the monkey and the coconut tree.  See the video version of this call on YouTube. ►YouTube Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TsAKqqtupP8 F...
