The Eightfold Path - Fall Practice Period 2026
Right View
Dharma Talk by Emyo Darlene Tataryn
Saturday, October 10th
9:00 am - 11:00 am ET (New York)
Online
How does understanding impact our practice? How do the principles of Buddhism, such as the Four Noble Truths, the Three Poisons and the recognition of endless suffering, impermanence and the illusion of self affect our actions? The Eightfold Path begins with Right View, attending to understanding some pretty deep truths about the human condition.
Join the Shining Bright Lotus sangha as we welcome Emyo Darlene Tataryn to kick off our eight-week journey through Shakyamuni’s seminal teachings on the Eightfold Path.
"And what is right view? Knowledge regarding suffering, knowledge regarding the origination of suffering, knowledge regarding the cessation of suffering, knowledge regarding the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering.”
- Shakyamuni Buddha
The Fall Practice Period is open to anyone.
There is no fee for this event. A donation is requested.

As founder of One Wisdom (onewisdom.ca), she guides individuals and communities toward somatic healing, emotional liberation, and spiritual awakening, seeing the world as an ever-unfolding mandala of interconnection and luminous potential.

As a Culadasa-certified teacher of The Mind Illuminated, Darlene offers meditation programs for all levels. She is a certified Hollow Bones Mondo Zen Facilitator of koan inquiries that integrate heart-mind collaboration and shadow work for compassionate living.
These disciplines inform her creations: Maitreya's Chair—a contemplative seated movement practice for releasing tension and cultivating tranquility—and The Lotus Series (Asaya Yoga), a dynamic movement meditation promoting neurocellular reprogramming, spinal alignment, and improvisational expression for all ages.
With over 35 years as a counselor, private practitioner, and former Applied Counseling instructor, she draws on Integral Theory to support clients in therapy, retreats, and expressive movement sessions where trauma dissolves and innate wisdom emerges.
