In Buddhism, The Noble Eightfold Path is declared to be the way that leads to the end of suffering, and nirvana.
As the name indicates, there are eight elements in the Noble Eightfold Path, and these are divided into three basic categories[1] as follows:
- 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
- Mental discipline (Sanskrit and Pāli: samādhi)
- 6. Right effort
- 7. Right mindfulness
- 8. Right concentration
- ↑ In the Pali canon, these three basic categories (Pali: khandha) are identified by the Bhikkhuni Dhammadinna in the "Culavedalla Sutta" (MN 44)[1] although in this sutta the categories are ordered: sīla, samādhi and paññā. These three basic categories are also similar to those articulated by the Buddha in his Threefold Training, as recorded in the Anguttara Nikaya's Sikkha Sutta (AN 3:88[2] and AN 3:89[3]).
