The threefold division of the path
The Noble Eightfold Path is sometimes divided into three basic divisions, as follows:[5]
| Division | Eightfold Path factors | Acquired factors |
| Wisdom (Sanskrit: prajñā, Pāli: paññā) | 1. Right view | 9. Right knowledge |
| 2. Right intention | 10. Right liberation | |
| Ethical conduct (Sanskrit: śīla, Pāli: sīla) | 3. Right speech | |
| 4. Right action | ||
| 5. Right livelihood | ||
| Concentration (Sanskrit and Pāli: samādhi) | 6. Right effort | |
| 7. Right mindfulness | ||
| 8. Right concentration |
This presentation is called the 'Three Higher Trainings' in Mahayana Buddhism: higher moral discipline, higher concentration and higher wisdom. 'Higher' here refers to the fact that these trainings that lead to liberation and enlightenment are engaged in with the motivation of renunciation or bodhichitta.
