(International Retreat - The First Stage of Enlightenment) - Eliminating The Pollution of Doubt: Mastering Confidence and Development of Wisdom

International Meditation & Buddhist Study Retreat - Developing a Life Practice to Attain The First Stage of Enlightenment at Wat Tung Yu in Chiang Mai, Thailand Learn more: https://www.buddhadailywisdom.com/chiangmai-meditation-retreat1 --------- Eliminating The Pollution of Doubt: Mastering Confidence and Development of Wisdom A Practitioner who starts off on The Path to Enlightenment most likely has a certain amount of “doubt” about whether these Teachings lead to Enlightenment or if Enlightenment is actually even “real”. As one develops their “life practice” on The Path to Enlightenment, a Practitioner will need to eliminate the fetter/taint/pollution of mind described as “doubt”. However, this is not accomplished through belief or blind faith. Instead, there are specific Teachings of how to eliminate “doubt” from the mind through mastering confidence and developing wisdom. David will teach you what is “doubt”, how it is hindering your progress on The Path to Enlightenment, and how by eliminating it one can continue their forward progress to the first Stage of Enlightenment and beyond. Eliminating The Pollution of Wrong Behavior and Observances: Mastering Moral Conduct and Elimination of Superstition During the life of Gotama Buddha, there were countless practices being taught and employed by various Teachers that could be considered rites, rituals, ceremonies, and worship. These practices did not lead to Enlightenment so Gotama Buddha helped guide his Students to understanding how to train the mind to progress to Enlightenment without rites, rituals, ceremonies, and worship. He also taught moral conduct that would lead to a practice of harmlessness through our intentions, speech, actions, and livelihood so that no harm would be returned to you. David will teach you what is “wrong behavior and observances”, how it is an obstacle to experiencing Enlightenment, and how by eliminating it one can experience improved results in their personal and professional relationships while bringing the mind into the first Stage of Enlightenment and beyond.
