- 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]).
