How important is right understanding right thougt right u know so on
I mean.. Have you read about S N Goenkas teacher U bakhin he wouldnt teach the vipassana to a person becourse he was testing other teqniques before that?
That isnt fairplay if you ask me?
and sn goenka said.. that ubakhin did reach the goal nibbanic peace.
And a teacher i had on a course said. IF you dont finish this 10 days course I wont let you go to another 10 day course in the future".
And I ask him and he said, "i feel like ecstacy".
So he have done progress but without right understandning from my wiew of point
?

Re: The noble 8-way
That's not true villkorkarma
You should read 'The Calm Mind" by John Coleman. Coleman was a student of U Ba Khin and was taught by him while he was trying out different spiritual approaches. In 'The Calm Mind" Coleman describes his spiritual path which began with, and ended with U Ba Khin.

The Eightfold Path is the way to liberation, so very important.
just because we may think something is correct or right doesn't mean it is right according to the Dhamma.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
