With Susan as a friend and guide, we will look at traditional teachings like the four noble truths and the six paramitas–but not from an academic standpoint. Rather, we will talk about how to make it all personal and relevant in everyday life. This podcast is not about Buddhist doctrine. It’s about how anyone can bring the profound wisdom of the dharma into their real life: at home, at work, and in love. The foundation for it all is meditation as a spiritual practice, not the latest life hack. Let’s go beyond the science and celebrity testimonials to discover the true power of meditation which is not based in self-improvement but in self-discovery.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-18T16:19:14.052192+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/buddhism-beyond-belief-with-susan-piver-7581346"},"episode":{"title":"The Noble Eightfold Path: Step Seven: Right Mindfulness","slug":"the-noble-eightfold-path-step-seven-right-mindfulness","published_at":"2026-03-27T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/buddhism-beyond-belief-with-susan-piver-7581346/the-noble-eightfold-path-step-seven-right-mindfulness","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/buddhism-beyond-belief-with-susan-piver-7581346","url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456053/episodes/18914924-the-noble-eightfold-path-step-seven-right-mindfulness.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/2456053/episodes/18914924-the-noble-eightfold-path-step-seven-right-mindfulness.mp3","summary":"Send us Fan Mail This week we explore Right Mindfulness, the seventh step of the Noble Eightfold Path. While the earlier steps shape how we see and act in the world, this step turns us inward again, toward our direct experience. Right Mindfulness is not about self-improvement or optimization. It is a way of relating to the mind as it is. Through meditation, we begin to see that thoughts are not a problem to solve, but something to notice, release, and return from, again and again.
