Noble Subtrefuge – Four Royal Efforts

How can we trick the mind out of its old habits?  The Buddha emphasized the power of the four Right Efforts. These royal allies advance the mind to its highest potential, the supreme wisdom possible for a human being. We are here to work for and receive this, our rightful inheritance – awakening to the truth of the Dhamma through our own intuitive realizations. A talk given at Quaker House, Ottawa Buddhist Society, Nov. 2009.
