The Noble Eightfold Path: Way to the End of Suffering

The Noble Eightfold Path: Way to the End of Suffering

This book offers a clear, concise account of the Eightfold Path prescribed to uproot and eliminate the deep underlying cause of sufferingâ€”ignorance. Each step of the path is believed to cultivate wisdom through mental training, and includes an enlightened and peaceful middle path that avoids extremes. The theoretical as well as practical angles of each of the pathsâ€”right view, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentrationâ€”are illustrated through examples from contemporary life. The work's final chapter addresses the Buddhist path and its culmination in enlightenment.
