THE WHEEL OF EXPERIENCE (DHAMMA CAKKHA)
This comes in the form of The Sublime Eightfold Way, as follows:
1. Harmonious Perspective
2. Harmonious Orientation
3. Harmonious Speech
4. Harmonious Action
5. Harmonious Life style
6. Harmonious Exercise
7. Harmonious Attention
8. Harmonious Equilibrium
In the beginner’s retreat we mainly focus on the first five steps in the Sublime Eightfold Way. This means we focus on the Harmonious Perspective, the Harmonious Orientation, the harmonious speech, action, and life of the individual meditator. Yet the other aspects of the Sublime Eightfold Way are partly used.
1. Harmonious Perspective, which leads to
2. Dispassion, which leads to
3. Compassion, which leads to
4. Happiness, which leads to
5. Tranquillity, which leads to
6. In-sight, becoming aware of the unconscious reaction
7. Leading to further dispassion, beginning the cycle again.
