Dharma Practice Series 2012-2013: The Noble Eightfold Path

These Dharma Practice Days focus on cultivating the Noble Eightfold Path in the fullness of our lives. This is the Buddha's classic formulation on how to walk the path of liberation- a path that integrates our outer life and our inner meditation practice.

The Noble Eightfold Paths consists of:

Wisdom (Sanskrit: prajñā, Pāli: paññā)
1. Right view
2. Right intention

Ethical conduct (Sanskrit: śīla, Pāli: sīla)
3. Right speech
4. Right action
5. Right livelihood

Concentration (Sanskrit and Pāli: samādhi)
6. Right effort
7. Right mindfulness
8. Right concentration
