Buddhism – The Eightfold Path – 2. Wise Intention
Manage episode 468545490 series 3521493
Wise Intention, the second step of the Eightfold Path, encourages us to reflect on the deeper purpose behind our practice. Ask yourself: What unmet need is calling for attention...physical healing, emotional balance, spiritual connection, or self-discovery? Your intention guides the direction of your practice, helping cultivate positive and compassionate qualities.
In Buddhism, intentions should nurture the Four Brahmaviharas: Metta (loving-kindness), Karuna (compassion), Mudita (sympathetic joy), and Upeksha (equanimity). These qualities guide us toward kindness, empathy, joy for others' success, and inner peace. When we align our intentions with these qualities, we foster a compassionate heart and contribute to the well-being of all beings.
Choose a word that speaks to your unmet need and declare your intention as you breathe, mentally saying “be with me.” This practice aligns your heart, body, and mind, creating space for serenity, compassion, and balance.
