Religion vs Addiction

Griff · 06-30-2010, 10:03 AM

I've been trying to take a step back and think clearly about stuff. I've been reading a lot of Buddhism thought avoiding the clearly religious aspects and concentrating on the eightfold path, which to me makes good sense from a secular perspective. I know that some folks will argue that Buddhism isn't a religion in the strictest sense... anyway here is where I'm trying to hang my hat with varying degrees of success.
1. Right Knowledge
2. Right Thinking
3. Right Speech
4. Right Conduct
5. Right Livelihood
6. Right Effort
7. Right Mindfulness
8. Right Concentration
When I'm stressed out I fail badly but I am working at it.
