Right view |
Right view is the absence of all attachment to views. It is the insight of interbeing. Interbeing describes the awareness that all human beings and all phenomena are intricately connected to each other and interdependent. |

Right livelihood |
When we choose a vocation that nourishes ourselves, our loved ones, and the planet, rather than one that brings about the destruction of the environment and harm to other species, that is right livelihood |
|
|
|
Right diligence |
When we are diligent in serving our own and other’s happiness, then that is right diligence |
|
|

Right mindfulness |
When we practice right mindfulness we use our breathing to return to ourselves and unite body and mind |
|
|
|
Right concentration |
The third noble truth, the cessation of suffering, reminds us that we have the ability to change the direction of our lives. This means we have free will. Right mindfulness leads to right concentration which supports and strengthens insight and right view, so the path is a circular path. |
