noble eightfold path
The Eightfold Path (Hashōdō, 巴: ariya-aṭṭhaṅgika-magga, Sanskrit: ārya-aṣṭṭāṅgika-mārga) is the eight practical virtues for attaining Nirvana in Buddhism: right view, contemplation, correct word, correct meditative activity (in Jodo, saying the name of Amitabha), right livelihood, diligent application, true faith (in rebirth in the promised land), right concentration... The Eight Noble Truths are said to have been preached by the Buddha in his first sermon (first full revolution of the year). It is the truth of the way to the cessation of suffering in The Four Noble Truths (of Buddhism), and is considered to be the specifics of the middle way preached by the Buddha. ---
