The sixth branch of the ‘Eightfold Path‘ is ‘Right Effort’ …

It is the effort to put into Practice the links of the Path within our life … to keep on keepin’ on.


We persevere, even those times when we just don’t feel like making the effort. “Right Intention” is the aspiration to do so, while “Right Effort” is the will to make the day by day slog …

We also learn that, in “just sitting”, effort can be effortless
that we move ahead with nowhere to go …
that every step of a steep climb is one step, and one step, and one step ….
