Friends:
The 3 domains of the Noble 8-Fold Way:
A former husband of a Buddhist Nun (=Bhikkhuni) once asked her:
Venerable
Dhammadinna, are these 3 domains of morality (sīla),
concentration (samādhi),
and understanding (pañña)
included in the
Noble 8-fold Way,
or is it rather instead the
Noble 8-fold Way
that is included & divided into the 3 core domains of the training?
The 3 domains,
Visākha,
are not included in the
Noble 8-fold Way,
but the Noble 8-fold
Way is included in those 3 domains like this:
Right
speech,
right action, and
right
livelihood: These 3 things are
included in the domain of morality...
Right
effort,
right
awareness, and
right concentration: These things
are included in the domain of concentration...
Right view
and
right motivation: These things are included in the
domain of understanding.
