In reviewing the Eightfold Path, discuss which of the practices do you feel are the most and least

important to the Buddhist way. Explain why. The practice of the Eightfold Path I feel is most beneficial to
the Buddhist way would be right behavior due to the basic principle that all else is for naught if your
actions do not reflect that which you are seeking. Simply understanding the right path, speaking to the
right path or reflecting upon the right path have no impact if your actions do not reflect equally. The
Eightfold Path I feel is least beneficial to the Buddhist way would be Right Livelihood as this may offer an
incentive or pleasure as a result of the other Paths and encourage further righteousness, it does not in
itself result in any measurable impact. Deming, W. (Ed.). (2015). Understanding the religions of the world:
