The Eightfold Path


The wanderer Nandiya asked the Lord: "What conditions when developed and practiced, lead to Nirvana, have Nirvana as their goal, culminate in Nirvana?"

"There are, Nandiya, eight things which, when developed and practiced, lead to Nirvana, have Nirvana as their goal, culminate in Nirvana? What eight? Perfect View, Perfect Thought, Perfect Speech, Perfect Action, Perfect Livelihood, Perfect Effort, Perfect Mindfulness, and Perfect Concentration.

---The Buddha---
