10.8 Fold Path

Verse 1
When life is filled with fear and pain,
We search for peace but look in vain.
The Buddha showed a gentle way,
A path to walk from day to day.

With Right View our eyes can see,
Things arise and cease naturally.
With Right Intention, kind and true,
A heart of love shines brightly through.

Chorus
Walk the Noble Eightfold Path,
Step by step beyond the past.
Wisdom, virtue, mind set free,
Growing like a peaceful tree.
Leaving hatred, greed, and strife,
Finding joy in daily life.
Hand in hand with truth we stay,
Walking on the Middle Way.

Verse 2
Right Speech brings words that heal and care,
No lies or anger lingering there.
Right Action keeps our conduct pure,
With kindness that will long endure.

Right Livelihood, honest and fair,
Living gently everywhere.
Helping others, doing good,
Serving all as we know we should.

Bridge
Right Effort guards the heart each day,
Letting harmful thoughts fade away.
Right Mindfulness helps us to see,
The present moment peacefully.
Right Concentration, calm and bright,
Leads the mind toward wisdom's light.

Final Chorus
Walk the Noble Eightfold Path,
Every step brings peace at last.
Through the darkness shines the light,
Guiding hearts with gentle might.
From suffering we learn to grow,
Planting seeds the wise ones sow.
May all beings, far and near,
Live with love beyond all fear.
Walking on the Middle Way,
Until awakening's perfect day.
