OK I've been told (LOL) that
"The Eightfold Path is a series of Virtues or Signposts, which help us deal with everyday situations by helping us to achieve:
Right View
Right Intention
Right Speech
Right Action
Right Business, or Livelihood
Right Effort
Right Awareness (or Mindfulness)
Right Meditation (or Concentration)."
This is how to help us not have suffering in our lives.
I am all for not having suffering
That seems like a very good aim.
Now that I'm looking at this list I'm even thinking that maybe I should take each one one by one with its own thread because even doing all of them at once will be too confusing. But since we have this thread here, I'll ask, do people usually do these "in order"? Focus on one then the next? Or is it more like the 10 commandments where people keep all of them in mind and try to live with all of them at the exact same time?
Also just out of curiosity are these all the exact same for all forms of Buddhism or like the 10 commandments do they have slightly different variations?
