Eight Factor of the Eightfold Path with Noah Levine

Eightfold Path Eighth Factor - Concentration The importance of concentration and the difference between mindfulness & concentration. Concentration can bring temporary relief to the human experience, but when we are no longer concentrating how do we find freedom? The Buddha found that concentration on its own would not lead to full liberation, but understood that the ability to concentrate when mixed with the ability to have open awareness has more precision to see reality and to respond wisely.
