The Naturalistic Teachings of the Buddha: Study, practice, and discussion of the Discourse on the Simile of the Cloth
This talk was given by Gil Fronsdal on 2026.08.20 at the Sati Center in Redwood City, CA. One of the most remarkable and original teachings of the Buddha is found in 7th discourse in the Middle Length Discourses. Couched in a short, fun story, this text describes insight and the unfolding of the path in naturalistic terms that are as relevant today as in the time of the Buddha. We will slowly read and discuss this short text so that it comes alive for our modern times. No familiarity with the Buddha’s discourse or teachings necessary. A translation and Gil’s study guide on the discourse will be sent out a week before the class. Video of this talk is available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaTo1Hb5xa8.
