The Eightfold Path

To say the Eightfold Path is to be cultivated means it needs to be created and sustained from moment to moment. the path does not stretch out ahead waiting for you to walk along it. It requires ongoing care and application.

Grounded in as complete a view as possible, practitioners aspire to think, to speak, to act, and to work at an occupation that responds appropriately to the situations of life in which we find ourselves. These are the tasks of practitioners who have made the Eightfold Path their own. As such, the tasks are expressions of a core commitment to realize the values of Awakening, of the Dharma, and of the Sangha, the Community of Practitioners.
