Welcome to NBEF. Our teaching centers on practicing the Noble Eightfold Path and observing how greed, hatred, and delusion arise in daily life.

You can begin by reading a few Dhamma Notes. These short teachings connect the Dhamma with ordinary experiences—wanting something, becoming upset, or getting caught in thoughts. As you read, consider how the teaching relates to your own experience.

Begin with observation. When greed, hatred, or delusion arises, notice the feeling, the state of mind, and the bodily sensations that accompany it. Observe without judging yourself or becoming absorbed in the story. This is a starting point for practice.
