The Eightfold Path
The Eightfold Path illustrates the moral principles in which all Buddhists should practice. It goes into detail about the basis of all Buddhist teachings: morality, meditation, and wisdom. This is the eightfold path:
- Right Knowledge
- Right Thinking
- Right Speech
- Right Conduct
- Right Livelihood
- Right Effort
- Right Mindfulness
- Right Concentration
Following the Noble Eightfold Path helps a person realize that greed and selfishness cause all earthly suffering. With this new understanding, one’s suffering may end.

I love it! I have the eightfold path taped to my work keyboard so I will remember whom I want to be.

So today I loved the fish I purchased and ate so forgot about the ones I did not catch.
My younger daughter is a practicing Tibetan Buddhist. I will have to ask her about this. Wisdom abounds.
