In the religion of Buddhism, the teachings of the Buddha include the Eightfold Noble Path. This is a series of steps and practices that a Buddhist can follow to move them out of the never ending cycle of rebirth and to nirvana. These eight steps are divided into three categories, wisdom, morality, and mental discipline. Under the first of the categories, wisdom, are the first two steps, Right Views and Right Intent. A Buddhist is supposed to view the world with compassion. In the second category, morality, come the next three practices, Right Speech, Right Conduct, and Right Livelihood. A Buddhist should act and speak thoughtfully and devote his (or her) life towards improving the world. Following the second category is mental discipline along with the last three steps, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration. A Buddhist must know how to clear and calm the mind and create detachment.
