Daily Dharma: Mahasatipatthana Sutta

Today's Daily Dharma from Tricycle outlines the ways we can put and end to suffering.

Mahasatipatthana Sutta

21. “And what, monks, is the Noble Truth of the Way of Practice Leading to the Cessation of Suffering? It is just this Noble Eightfold Path, namely: - Right View, Right Thought; Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood; Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, Right Concentration.”
