The Eightfold Path in Buddhism is divided into three sections, often referred to as the Threefold Training:

Wisdom (Prajna): Includes Right View (understanding reality) and Right Intention (wholesome motivations).

Ethical Conduct (Sila): Includes Right Speech (truthful, kind communication), Right Action (ethical behavior), and Right Livelihood (harm-free occupation).

Mental Discipline (Samadhi): Includes Right Effort (cultivating positive mind states), Right Mindfulness (awareness of the present), and Right Concentration (focused meditation).

Reinterpret the Four Noble Truths using the concept of satisfaction;

Pathway to Fulfillment: Follow the Eightfold Path as a means to cultivate a life of satisfaction, inner peace, and holistic well-being.

This reframing maintains the essence of the Four Noble Truths while focusing on achieving satisfaction and contentment.
