The Four Nutriments with Sayadaw U Jagara & Beth Upton at IMS Barre Massachusetts (In-Person)
February 1, 2022 12:00 am - February 28, 2022 12:00 amThe Four Nutriments of Life
Right View (samma ditthi) is the first factor of the Noble Eightfold Path. It forms the foundation from which we are able to skillfully navigate our way out of suffering and towards Nibbana.
In the discourse on Right View (MN:9), the Venerable Sariputta expounds various aspects of Right View, one of which is the four kinds of Nutriment, namely: food, contact, volition, and consciousness.
During this retreat, we will look at these four kinds of Nutriment in detail and see how they relate to other aspects of Right View, such as the factors of Dependent Origination and the Four Noble Truths.
Ultimately, we shall discern how the four Nutriments are operating in our own lives and how we can use them skillfully to fuel our path towards Nibbana.
Participants are expected to observe the eight precepts, if they are able to do so.
Priority will be given to anyone applying for the full month of February or longer.
