In this series of talks, we explore the question of how to understand our progress along the path. We look at the whole journey through the lens of the Buddha’s “three yanas”, or the three “turning of the wheel”.
This journey begins with a simple faith in the truth of cause-and-effect. This leads us to laying aside causing harm. Living a life of “non-harm” comes to fruition as a sense of deep care and compassion for all beings. This culminates in ability to experience all beings, and the world itself as being completely good, whole and perfect. This way of seeing the world could be understood as “enlightened vision”, or “sacred outlook”.
“The true sign of practice is that you are naturally and effortlessly without fixation. Also, that you
are endowed with devotion, compassion and pure perception, just like the sky is filled with the
warmth of sunlight.”
