Chogyam Trungpa explains the eightfold path, symbolised by the 8 spokes of the dharma wheel thoroughly half way in the book ‘the myth of freedom’: “I am sorry not to be presenting any glamorous and beautiful promises. Wisdom happens to be a domestic affair. Buddha saw the world as it is and that was his enlightenment. Buddha means “awake,” being awake, completely awake—that seems to be his message to us.

The downside can be that you have to buy into the Apple vision, literally and figuratively. While I love the aesthetic of MacOS and battery life of arm64 macbooks, it’s not worth it for me in the end; I rather opt for a arm64 based chromebook to run linux on it with Aline, Wayland, Logseq, Vassal and a nice compositor....
