Finding Your Way - The Eightfold Path

The Noble Eightfold Path

• Right understanding (Samma ditthi)


• Right thought (Samma sankappa)


• Right speech (Samma vaca)


• Right action (Samma kammanta)


• Right livelihood (Samma ajiva)


• Right effort (Samma vayama)


• Right mindfulness (Samma sati)


• Right concentration (Samma samadhi)

These eight areas are not meant to be followed and practiced one after the other in the numerical order. Instead, use them together, as much as possible, based on who you are as a person and who you want to be. Each of these areas folds into the others forming a circle of full living.

You can read more about the Eightfold Path on the Tricycle website (https://tricycle.org/magazine/noble-eightfold-path), a popular Buddhist resource.

Recorded on March 2, 2020 at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Mankato, Minnesota.
