The fourth noble truth made practical. Eight factors, not steps to climb in a fixed order but facets to develop together, gathered into three trainings:
Wisdom (Pañña)
- Right View, Right Intention.
Ethical conduct (Sīla)
- Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood.
Mental discipline (Samādhi)
- Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, Right Concentration.
The eight map closely onto Patanjali's eight limbs. Sīla echoes Yama and Niyama; Right Mindfulness and Right Concentration meet Dharana and Dhyana. Two maps of one terrain, drawn a few centuries apart.
