Ep 841Anapanasati as a Skill Development on the Eightfold Fold Noble Path | Peter J #12 | 8.18.21

Dhammarato answers Peter's questions about how the practice of Anapanasati plays into the 8 Fold Noble Path. In breaking down the building blocks of the Path, Dhammarato pays an acute attention to the Right Effort of "bending the limb" by intentionally getting rid of the "big gray booger" aka junk thoughts. Another metaphor Dhammarato uses as a result of the practice is "sea legs" of Upekkha - the dynamic balance that allows one to handle the high seas of life.
