0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of the Secular Buddhism podcast. This is episode |
0:14.5 | number 206. I am your host, Noah Rusjeda. I want to remind you, as always, that you don't need to use |
0:21.7 | what you learn from Buddhism to be a Buddhist. You can use what you learn to simply be a better |
0:26.1 | whatever you already are. Today's episode is the audio of a Dharma talk that I gave during one of |
0:33.3 | our Sunday Zoom calls. These are weekly calls that I do with podcast listeners and supporters |
0:39.2 | with members of the Secular Buddhism podcast online community. And the audio is on the topic of |
0:48.2 | right intention. So without further ado, let's jump right into the topic for this podcast episode. |

1:51.5 | split into three kind of general categories, the first of which is wisdom. So the |
1:59.1 | aspects of the path that pertain to trying to cultivate wisdom are having |
2:06.1 | right view, which is what we talked about last week, and having right intention. So this is |
2:12.5 | almost like a part two of the overall topic of trying to develop wisdom. |
2:21.6 | So that's where I thought I would go with with sharing thoughts today. |
2:29.1 | Last week in the discussion around View, we talked about the different types of truths, |
