This dharma talk was given at a daylong retreat in New York In November 2024. In the talk, Peter Doobinin explains the Buddha's path, the story of his awakening, and the three knowledges he came to in his journey. These three knowledges provide for the basis of right view. The story of the Buddha's awakening offer us a way, a dharma, that we can follow; but, as Peter describes, it is us to us to make the effort to follow the path. If we're true to the path, we'll come to a greater happiness. As the Thai meditation master Ajaan Lee said, "if we're true to the dhamma, the dhamma will be true to us."
