Buddhist Lists with Noah Levine

April 14, 2025

Tonight, I'm going to talk about several things—maybe nine or twelve, we'll see. I have about twelve topics, but I might only get through nine of them.

For those who've studied Buddhism, you're probably familiar with its core teachings, like the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path. Buddhism often presents information in lists—four of this, eight of that, twelve of these. Tonight, I'll share three or four lists of about three items each.

It's useful that Buddhism is organized into lists, even though it can seem overwhelming at first. You might wonder how to memorize the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and its 27 subsections. Initially, it can feel a bit complicated.
