““The Eightfold Path, the path leading to the cessation of suffering is: 1) Right View 2) Right Intention 3) Right Speech 4) Right Action 5) Right Livelihood 6) Right effort 7) Right Mindfulness 8)Right Concentration. Let me point out here that ‘right’ in the above is not the opposite of ‘wrong’. Right in the above is about doing those things which will yield the greatest good. In Buddhism it is not merely enough to do no harm, we are striving to do the greatest good. We call this living skillfully, and that is what we strive to do when following these Eight Right Ways. Not all of the time will we be presented with clear choices, sometimes our options may all be less than favorable. In all things though our intention, our basis for action, is to do the least harm and the greatest good.””
