Friends: The 3 domains of the Noble 8-Fold Way: A former husband of a Buddhist Nun (=Bhikkhuni) once asked her: Venerable Dhammadinna, are these 3 domains of morality (sīla), concentration (samādhi), and understanding (pañña) included in the Noble 8-fold Way, or is it rather instead the Noble 8-fold Way that is included & divided into the 3 core domains of the training? The 3 domains, Visākha, are not included in the Noble 8-fold Way, but the Noble 8-fold Way is included in those 3 domains like this: Right speech, right action, and right livelihood: These 3 things are included in the domain of morality... Right effort, right awareness, and right concentration: These things are included in the domain of concentration... Right view and right motivation: These things are included in the domain of understanding.
