Reality as it is becomes the right view of the meditator. Thinking of it as it is becomes the right thought. Awareness of it as it is becomes the right awareness. Concentration on it as it is becomes the right concentration. Actions of the body and speech* are then aligned to reality as it is. In this way the meditator develops and is fulfilled.
- Majjhima Nikaya
It is amazing to see how "The Noble Eightfold Path" becomes an integral part of the meditator...
1. Right View
2. Right Intention (Translated as "Right Thought" above)
3. Right Speech
4. Right Action
5. Right Livelihood
6. Right Effort
7. Right Mindfulness (Translated as "Right Awareness" above)
8. Right Concentration
*Actions of the body and speech are # 3, 4, 5, and 6
