"The Three Trainings or Practices:

These three consist of:

  1. Sila: Virtue, good conduct, morality. This is based on two fundamental principles:
     
    bulletThe principle of equality: that all living entities are equal.
     
    bulletThe principle of reciprocity: This is the "Golden Rule" in
    Christianity -- to do onto others as you would wish them to do
    onto you. It is found in all major religions.
     
  2. Samadhi: Concentration, meditation, mental development. Developing one's mind is the path to wisdom which in turn leads to personal freedom. Mental development also strengthens and controls our mind; this helps us maintain good conduct.
     
  3. Prajna: Discernment, insight, wisdom, enlightenment. This is the real heart of Buddhism. Wisdom will emerge if your mind is pure and calm.

The first two paths listed in the Eightfold Path, described below, refer to discernment; the last three belong to concentration; the middle three are related to virtue. "
