The Three Buddhist Trainings: Sila 1/3

The First of the Three Buddhist Trainings "Sila" covers how we should act and be in everything outside of our meditation practice itself. It is the first and last of the Buddhist Trainings, being that thing which brings us consistently to the cushion before awakening and the thing which has infinite depth of practice afterwards.

Enjoyable and informative a good introduction for me, thank you

🙏 thank you. I loved this clear and concise introduction to sila and look forward to the other 2 in the series!

As non English mother tongue I will listen to it once again because I do not want to miss not even a single word. I just loved it at 360 degrees, in each and every aspect. I am so grateful Silas🙏🏻

Thank you for sharing this. It was very helpful to remind myself that morality differs depending on a philosophical school, tradition, culture. Morality also changes as we mature. As tempting as it may be, we shall abstain from judgement other traditions and people if their morality differs.

Excellent delivery. Well done

Loved this. I did your 30-day course and wanted more so started listening to this. I so appreciate your humor!

Thanks Silas. Enjoyed this, especially the phrase, “...for the benefit of all beings, past, present and future.” Big mind!

Engaging and thought-provoking. I'll be back for parts 2 and 3! Thank you.

Easy to listen to, clear, and insightful. Thank you!🙏🏼🌺

Liked your clear, concise presentation

Thank you for your insight into Buddhism. I have listened to several of your talks and it is amazing to me how very much the teachings of Christ are so similar to the teachings of the Buddha. Your talks are helping to deepen my own faith. I look forward to hearing more.

Thank you I’m looking forward to more of your talks

Thank you so much Silas for sharing this. It came at a time when I really needed it 🙏

Love to hear about the Buddhist teachings.... it’s all new for me!! I like the “day by day.....moment by moment” pathway of bettering oneself; and not having to be a grandiose plan. We all make a difference In the big scheme of things..... whether we think so or not! Thank you for sharing!

Really enjoyed your talk. You have a calming voice & I enjoyed learning about a basic fundamental in Buddhist teaching. Thank-you Silas.

That was an excellent overview of Sila. Were I to make a request, it would be to break some of the more complex sentences down. It is probably just me, but in trying to break them down in my mind, I lose the next sentence. But like I said it's probably just me. In writing this, I realized that I do exactly the same thing when I write an email. Something for me to work on in Sila. LOL namaste

Thank you for sharing 🦋💫🌈 🙏

Enjoyed your talk and look forward to parts 2 & 3. Namastè for sharing your thoughts about Buddhism. 🙏🙏🙏💖💖💖

Enjoyed your talk and looking forward to parts 2 & 3
