The Eight Realization Sutta

Join Venerable Hung I as he teaches the Eight Realization Sutta on the third Sunday over the next months.

Each of the eight realizations are meant to be subjects of meditation and moment-to-moment practice. Within each one there are levels of practice that lead to gradual realization of the paths to positive personal development. The sutta is lyrical, its simple words meant to be chanted and memorized. And, each of these subjects can be further divided to reveal the depth of ideals contained in Buddhist philosophy; the concepts of causality (dependent origination), not-self, karma, attachment, emptiness, selflessness, impermanence, mindfulness and more.
