One of the most important aspects of our live and our practice is
how we see, experience and make sense of our world. In modern
times we are inundated with media and information at a rate that
we can barely process. With our attention bias towards negativity
combined with the kind of digital food we consume it's no wonder
many of us feel defeated, confused and uneasy about many things.


The teachings on right view (samma ditthi) are designed for us to
push ourselves into a perspective that is construction, wholesome
and optimistic. This teaching is vastly misunderstood because for
so many, it implies a "belief" in something. A dogmatic view
which hinders our ability to take this on as a practice of
moment-to-moment inquiry.


At its most basic, right view is challenging us to maintain an
ethical, philosophical and contemplative perspective
on....everything!
