Noble Eightfold Path

The Noble Truth of the Path Leading to the Cessation of Suffering gives us the Noble Eightfold Path which consists of eight limbs arranged in three groups: Sīla, Samādhi, and Paññā.

Sīla:
• sammā-vācā (Right speech)
• sammā-kammanta (Right action)
• sammā-ajīva (Right livelihood)

Samādhi:
• sammā-vāyāma (Right effort)
• sammā-sati (Right attentiveness)
• sammā-samādhi (Right concentration)

Paññā:
• sammā-ditthi (Right view)
• sammā-saṅkappa (Right thinking)
