2. Right Intention—Cultivating thoughts and intentions based on non- harming, letting go of grasping, and strengthening lovingkindness.

3. Right Speech—When speaking, we aim for speech that is truthful, helpful, kind, and timed wisely.

4. Right Action—Acting in ways that do not cause harm, such as not taking life, not stealing, and not engaging in sexual misconduct, so as to deepen peace within oneself and harmony in one’s community.

5. Right Livelihood—Making an ethically sound living; being honest in business dealings.

6. Right Effort—Practicing letting go of thoughts and feelings that create suffering for ourselves and others, and cultivating those that foster connection, wisdom, and true happiness for ourselves and others.
