The Refined Truth of the Trail leading to the Bring to an end of Angst-ridden
"This is, O Bhikkhus, the Refined Truth of the Trail leading to the Bring to an end of Angst-ridden. It is thoroughly the Refined Eightfold Trail, namely: Proper Aware, Proper Tiny bit, Proper Oration, Proper Parcel, Proper Income, Proper Try, Proper Awareness (mindfulness) and Proper Concentration (meditation)."
The truth of the path, the Eight Refined Trail is not famine the Ten Commandments, put forward state is no enforcement on any separate. This is the tonic for the sickness we suffered, Buddha advised "Friends! Deferment the holy life, for the all set hurt of sufferings." The Tipitaka has several guidelines on the running away of stern mental defilements, The Blessed one said:" For all delightful act, it is not alike to 1/16 of practice of karuna (kindheartedness), it is the mental giving out of harming; of all that expand, star light is not alike to 1/16 that of moonlight. The Refined Eightfold Trail is for the accord of Nibbana.
The Blessed One described this path as such: "It is adequate as if a man, wandering scheduled a badlands supervision, were to see an ancient path, an ancient major road, traveled by household of onwards era. He would develop it. Succeeding it, he would see an ancient municipal, an ancient treasury inhabited by household of onwards era, all set with parks, groves, and ponds, walled, lovely. He would go to chatter the king or the king's prophet, saying, 'Sire! You want know that in the role of wandering scheduled a badlands supervision I saw an ancient path... I followed it... I saw an ancient municipal, an ancient treasury... all set with parks, groves, and ponds, walled, lovely. Sire! Renovate that municipal.' The king or king's prophet would rebuild the municipal, so that at a next rendezvous the municipal would become powerful, affluent, and well-populated, clearly ready and well-off.
In the incredibly way I saw an ancient path, an ancient major road, traveled by the Virtuously Self-awakened Ones of onwards era. And what is that ancient path, that ancient major road, traveled by the Virtuously Self-awakened Ones of onwards times? Fair this delightful eightfold path: correct view, correct aspiration, correct characters, correct action, correct income, correct hard work, correct mindfulness, correct interest. That is the ancient path, the ancient major road, traveled by the Virtuously Self-awakened Ones of onwards era. I followed that path. Succeeding it, I came to orders knowledge of aging and death, orders knowledge of the invention of aging and death, orders knowledge of the careful of aging and death, orders knowledge of the path leading to the careful of aging and death. I followed that path. Succeeding it, I came to orders knowledge of accepted... becoming... clinging... petition... think... carve... the six end media... name-and-form... consciousness, orders knowledge of the invention of consciousness, orders knowledge of the careful of consciousness, orders knowledge of the path leading to the careful of consciousness. I followed that path.
Succeeding it, I came to orders knowledge of formations, orders knowledge of the invention of formations, orders knowledge of the careful of formations, orders knowledge of the path leading to the careful of formations. Experienced that straight on, I stand revealed it to monks, nuns, male lay buddies and female lay buddies, so that this holy life has become powerful, affluent, jiffy, well-populated, wide-spread, proclaimed plus outer space and at all beings." (SN XII 65)
This path can be seriously not speaking concerning three, ie; the training of domination or graciousness, the training of concentration or interest, and the training of wisdom. Ven. Sister Dhammadinna understood to the enquiring Visakha: "The three trainings are not included under the delightful eightfold path, friend Visakha, but the delightful eightfold path is included under the three trainings. Proper characters, correct action, and correct income come under the training of Goodness. Proper hard work, correct mindfulness, and correct interest come under the training of Concentration. Proper view and correct reflection come under the training of Level-headedness." (MN 44)
