This evening, I would like to give a talk that perhaps could be called right understanding. It will be a reworking or reformulation of right understanding, also called right view. Right view or right understanding is the beginning of the eightfold path. When the Buddha described the path of practice, he started with right view and right understanding. It is right there at the beginning of Buddhism, and in a sense, all of Buddhism arises from right understanding. It is something that all the different schools of Buddhism and all the different practices have in common in the fundamental and simple way that the Buddha offered it.
