The Eightfold Path: Right Action
Right Action is the second part of Sila, or the ethics portion of the Eightfold Path, and includes some of the most powerful practices for living in the world in harmony with other beings. Together wish Right Speech, Right Action forms the foundation of the Five Precepts. As with most of the Buddha's teachings however, it's not just about not causing harm or not stealing, but rather living in a way that is compassionate, kind, is for the benefit of all beings, and works to end suffering wherever we find it. This is a powerful foundation we can all access through effort and mindfulness.
