in buddhism, the noble eightfold path (pali: "ariya atthangika magga") is the path to the end of suffering. it is the fourth part of the four noble truths. it can be summed up in three categories: wisdom ("pañña"), virtue ("sila"), and concentration ("samadhi"). it asks for the right view and the right intention, as well as other things. it also asks for the right speech.
