This Sunday, Steve turned our focus to Wise Effort, the sixth “fold” of the Noble Eightfold Path.
When the Buddha spoke of wise effort, he wasn’t asking us to strain, to push, or to grind our way toward awakening. He was pointing to something much more subtle: the quality of energy we bring to each moment.
Wise effort is the energy that supports freedom, not the exertion that tightens the knots.
After an overview of key teachings, we listened to a talk by Jack Kornfeld, who explored how Wise Effort can be grounded in Love.
