The Harmonious Perspective
The first step, therefore, on this extraordinary path is the Harmonious Perspective, commonly translated as Right View, or Right understanding. In other words, we start by explaining to the follower what the problem is, the cause of the problem, and the solution to the problem. In other words, we explain what should be done, why it should be done, and how it should be done. This means we explain, so no one can complain. In other words, this is not a “monkey see, monkey do” method. We speak to intelligent people who want to understand what they are doing, and why they are doing it.
