Level 1 class 9 - the 2nd noble truth(2)

1. Dualistic Views are deviant from reality and could lead us to extreme way so we should be wary of the views we have now.
2. Failing to correctly understand causality can make us make efforts on wrong causes, expect wrong consequences, or blindly commit karmas without considering the existence of causality.
3. The most common erroneous behaviors are: greed, anger, ignorance, pride, doubt
4. Instead of showing arrogance, the meaning of “no doubting” here reminds us to be careful on the influence of the "doubt thought" in our mind during meditation. Therefore, when we have questions on teachers, teachings, or our practices, we should ask for help from our instructors.
