The Eightfold Path is a way of life that each of us follows and practices to the best of our current understanding and capacity. The Path is not a religious journey and has nothing to do with belief, prayer, worship, or ceremony. It’s a guide to practice and a road that leads to a deep experience of the Noble Truths.
