And cause the Eightfold Path is is is presented as the fourth Noble Truth and in the Buddha's teaching of the Four Noble Truths. Here's what he says. The fourth Noble Truth The Buddha articulated in his first teaching at sanef was that of the way leading to the cessation of dukkha known as the middle path, it was said to avoid the two extremes of self indulgence and self modification or in more contemporary return terms of idealization and denial. So raising something up or or putting it down having tried both sets of practices, that is asceticism and in self. indulgence. The Buddha realized that each subtly reinforced the very notions of I or mine that created the state of suffering in the first place. The search for happiness, those sense present, through sense pleasures, he called Low, common and profitable in the way of ordinary people. In the Search for happiness through denial or asceticism, he called painful, unworthy and unprofitable, relaxing the ego boundaries and dissolving the sense of self and pleasurable or even ecstatic experiences did not relieve suffering, nor did giving free rein to the emotions. Attacking the body and subject, just subjugating yourself. coercing the ego into some kind of surrender also did not relieve suffering, nor trying to deny the emotions the correct approach toward the butter. lay in the ground between the two extremes. It required the alignment of eight specific factors of mind and behavior. View aspiration, X speech, action, livelihood effort, mindfulness and concentration. So here are the eight eight aspects of the Eightfold Path. When these factors were properly established toward the border, they constituted the path to cessation. The eight factors were collectively known as the eightfold path, the behavioural categories of right speech, right action and livelihood are the ethical foundation. The meditative categories of right concentration and right mindfulness are the foundation of mental discipline traditionally associated with the formal practice of meditation and the wisdom categories of right as Understanding and Right Thought, represent the conceptual foundation, that has also been termed right view. It is this latter character category that is often given short shrift by those eager to embark on the meditative path, who when and the native path consistent with the Buddhist method of approaching an authentic view self, by first bringing the manifestations of false self into awareness, the most effective way of developing the right view that the body encouraged is to examine the various common myths, manifestations of false view. And often we have to do this in terms of determining how to make an effort that we may go down different roads, which which turned out to be unhelpful and unwholesome that we only find out often, which these are by going down those paths and then in finding ourselves with DNS.
