Noble Eightfold Path

The fourth noble truth: right view, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness and concentration.

Also: Eightfold Path

Early Buddhism and the Theravāda

The eightfold path is the way to the end of suffering. Its eight factors are grouped in three trainings: wisdom (right view and intention), ethics (right speech, action and livelihood) and concentration (right effort, mindfulness and concentration). They are developed together, not one after another.
