Buddha’s Eightfold Path: Study and Contemplation

For this swap, you will take some time to study and/or review the Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path, which is an early summary of the path of Buddhist practices leading to liberation from suffering and unhappiness.

While I have practiced Christianity to include forms of Protestantism and Catholicism, I have become more interested in the study of Buddhism and how it can apply to and enhance my life.

This path consists of:

• Right understanding
• Right thought
• Right speech
• Right action
• Right livelihood
• Right effort
• Right mindfulness
• Right concentration

For this swap, you will take some time to learn/review these concepts. Then, you will write a letter to your partner describing how you would, do or envision applying these principles in your life. You should have one sentence per path or a minimum total of eight sentences.

While you will send flat mail, I’m making this swap a Type 3 because some study, work and contemplation is involved. You can start this swap when you sign up if you’d like to begin before partner is assigned.
