Dharmabytes: What is Perfect Vision?

From Free Buddhist Audio on Mon, 15 Jan, 2024 - 11:00

The Eightfold Path is divided into Paths of Vision and of Transformation. Sangharakshita illustrates how perfect vision can arise, and concludes by showing how Buddhists have communicated their vision of reality in conceptual and imaginative terms.

Excerpted from the talk entitled The Nature of Existence: Right Understanding, as part of the series The Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path given in 1968.
