Morning meditation — The Eightfold Path is really just awareness.

By Buddhism Now on 14 February 2026

‘The Eightfold Path is really just awareness. Awareness is the path, and the eight parts are more or less positions for reflection.’

Morning meditation — You should know that so far as Buddha-nature is concerned.

By Buddhism Now on 15 February 2026

‘You should know that so far as Buddha-nature is concerned, there is no difference between an enlightened man and an ignorant one. What makes the difference is that one realises it, while the other is ignorant of it.’

Morning meditation — Attachment operates as wanting something or wanting more.

By Buddhism Now on 16 February 2026

‘Attachment operates as wanting something or wanting more. And anger is also wanting—wanting to reject, wanting to put off. So, according to Buddhism, both of these two emotions are undesirable.’

Dukkha is often misunderstood.

By Buddhism Now on 16 February 2026

Dukkha is often misunderstood. In its most basic sense, it refers to the pervasive sense of unsatisfactoriness that underlies human experience. It includes obvious forms of suffering, such as pain, illness, and loss, but also more subtle forms — such as the restlessness, anxiety, and dissatisfaction that persist even in the midst of comfort and pleasure. Dukkha arises because we live in a world of impermanence and change. No matter how much we strive to secure happiness, the objects of our desire — whether they are material, emotional, or intellectual — are all subject to decay and loss. The pleasures we seek are fleeting, and the attachments we form inevitably lead to disappointment when they pass away.

The Buddha’s insight into Dukkha is not pessimistic, as it is sometimes portrayed. Rather, it is a realistic appraisal of life as it is. To ignore Dukkha is to remain trapped in a cycle of endless craving and attachment, always seeking fulfilment in things that cannot provide lasting satisfaction. To face it with clarity and courage, however, is to begin the path to freedom.

This is where the teachings of Anicca (impermanence) and Anattā (not-self) come into play. They deepen our understanding of Dukkha and point to the root causes of suffering.

The monks depicted here are dressed in the robes of the Karma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism, and the central figure likely represents Mikyo Dorje (1500–1599), the eighth head of that lineage. The other seven monks represent earlier incarnations of him, including Marpa (1012–1098) and Milarepa (1040–1123). Vajradhara presides above, and Mahakala, the order’s great protector, stands below.

The object of mind also becomes increasingly subtle and refined.

By Buddhism Now on 3 March 2026

The practice tends to be this way, so it will have to take many sittings and much effort before you become proficient. Once you are, the mind will let go of the external world and remain undisturbed. Mind-objects from the outside will be unable to penetrate inside and disturb the mind itself. Once they are unable to penetrate inside, you will see the mind. You will see the mind as one object of awareness, the breath as another and mind-objects as another. They will all be present within the field of awareness, centred at the tip of your nose. Once sati is firmly established with the in-breaths and out-breaths, you can continue to practise at your ease. As the mind becomes calm, the breath, which was originally coarse, becomes correspondingly lighter and more refined. The object of mind also becomes increasingly subtle and refined. The body feels lighter and the mind itself feels progressively lighter and unburdened.

The mind lets go of external mind-objects and you continue to observe internally.

From here onwards your awareness will be turned away from the world outside and be directed inwards to focus on the mind. Once the mind has gathered together and become concentrated, maintain awareness at that point where the mind becomes focused. As you breathe, you will see the breath clearly as it enters and leaves, sati will be sharp and awareness of mind-objects and mental activity will be clearer. At that point you will see the characteristics of sīla, samādhi and paññā and the way in which they merge together. This is known as the unification of the Path factors. Once this unification occurs, your mind will be free from all forms of agitation and confusion. It will become one-pointed and this is what is known as samādhi.
