Jesus and the Eightfold Path

. Right Views

Acts 4:12
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

. Right Aspiration

James 4:1-3
What causes fights and quarrels  among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle  within you?   You desire but do not have, so you kill.  You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.   When you ask, you do not receive,  because you ask with wrong motives,  that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

1 Corinthians 10:31
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.

. Right Speech

Matthew 12:36
But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.

. Right Conduct

James 3:17
But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.

. Right Livelihood

Matthew 6:31
So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’

Matthew 6:33
But seek first his kingdom  and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

. Right Effort

Hebrew 12:1-2
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run  with perseverance  the race marked out for us,   fixing our eyes on Jesus,  the pioneer  and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross,  scorning its shame,  and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

. Right Mindfulness

Romans 8:7
The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God;  it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

Philippians 2:5
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:

.   Right Contemplation

Colossians 3:1-4
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ,  set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.    Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.    For you died,  and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.   When Christ, who is your life,  appears,  then you also will appear with him in glory.
