What does it take to see your own life clearly, and then actually act on what you see? In this episode, Danielle teaches the wisdom basket of the Eightfold Path: skillful view (often called Right View) and skillful intention (Right Intention). She walks through the Four Ennobling Realities, the Pragmatic Buddhist reframe of the Four Noble Truths, and how craving, aversion, and delusion shape what we take to be real. Then the sangha takes over. Members talk through what skillful intention looks like when it gets hard, including the courage it takes to end a friendship and still stay gentle with the person you're walking away from.
