The text analyzes consequences of taking the wrong path, linking fortune, status, praise, and pleasure to conduct, and argues that these can be understood as inconstant when rooted in faults. By developing qualities directed toward peace, practitioners find results parallel to worldly benefits, including durable forms of status and fortune, and lasting “pleasure free from the baits of the world.”","# The Path to\n\nPeace &Freedom  \nfor the Mind  \n# The Pathto\n\nPeace &Freedomfor theMind  \nPhra Ajaan Lee  \nDhammadharo  \nTranslated from the Thaiby Thanissaro Bhikkhu(Geoffrey DeGraff)  \nFOR FREE DISTRIBUTION  \nhttps://archive.org/details/pathtopeacefreed0000unse  \nAjaan Lee Dhammadharo  \n## Introduction\n\nHIS ANALYSIS of the Path is intended as a guideI to lead practicing Buddhists to peace and well-being in terms both of the world and of the Dhamma.Well-being in terms of the world includes such things asfortune,status,praise,and pleasure.These four thingsdepend on our conducting ourselves properly along theright path.If we follow the wrong path,though,we arebound to meet with loss of fortune,loss of status,censureand criticism,suffering and pain.The fact that we experi-ence these things may well be due to faults in our ownconduct.So if our practice of the right path—the NobleEightfold Path—is to lead us to peace in terms both of theworld and of the Dhamma,we will first have to study it sothat we understand it rightly and then conduct ourselves inline with its factors.Then,if we have aims in terms of theworld,we'll get good results.Our fortune,status,goodname,and pleasure will be solid and lasting.Even after wedie,they will continue to appear in the world.  \nIf,however,we see that fortune,status,praise,andpleasure are inconstant,undependable,and subject tochange,we should immediately start trying to study anddevelop the qualities that will lead our hearts in the direc-tion of peace.We are then sure to meet with results that  \nIntroduction  \nparallel those of the world.For example,status—the pathsof stream-entry,once-returning,non-returning,andarahantship;fortune—the gaining of the fruition of strearmh-entry,once-returning,non-returning,and arahantship:These forms of status and fortune don't deteriorate.Theystay with us always.At the same time,we'll receive praiseand pleasure in full measure,inasmuch as Buddhists chantin praise virtually every night and day that,'The followersof the Blessed One conduct themselves well,conduct them-selves uprightly,conduct themselves for the sake ofknowledge,conduct themselves masterfully.'Similarly,ourpleasure will be solid and lasting,steeping and refreshingthe heart with the Dhamma,not subject to death or decayThis is called 'niramisa sukha,'pleasure free from the baits ofthe world.Quiet and cool,genuine and unchanging,this isthe pleasure for which people who practice the Buddha’steachings aspire.Like gold:No matter in what land ornation it may fall,it remains gold by its very nature and isbound to be desired by people at large.In the same way,themental traits of people who follow the right path in terms ofthe Dhamma are bound to give rise to genuine pleasure andease.Even when they die from this world,their fortune,status,good name,and pleasure in terms of the Dhammawon't leave them.  \nThus,Buddhists who aim at progress and happinessshould study,ponder,and put into practice—as far as theycan—all eight factors of the Noble Path set out here as aguide to practice.There may be some mistakes in what is  \nIntroduction  \nwritten here because I have aimed more at the meaningand practice than at the letter of the scriptures.So whereverthere may be mistakes or deficiencies,please forgive me.Ifeel certain,though,that whoever practices in line with theguidelines given here is sure to meet—to at least someextent—with ease of body and mind in terms both of theworld and of the Dhamma,in accordance with his or herown practice and conduct.  \nMay each and every one of you meet with progress andhappiness.  \n# Phra Ajaan Lee Dhammadharo\n\nWat Boromnivas,BangkokAugust,1955  \nAll of the Buddha's teachings and their practicecan be summed up in a mere eight factors—  \nI.Right View:seeing in line with the truth.  \nII.Right Resolve:thinking in ways that will leadto well-being.  \nIII.Right Speech:speaking in line with the truth.  \nIV.Right Action:being correct and upright in one'sactivities.  \nV.Right Livelihood:maintai","cbCaiqEBZGVBolBf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqEBZGVBolBf","pdf",3757040,84,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Noble Eightfold Path\n### I.
