The Eightfold Path is often pictured as a wheel, a Dharmacakra, the Wheel of the Dharma, with eight spokes. So the eight parts of this path are integral to each other, but they don't exactly follow a developmental sequence. The eight parts of this Path, the eight factors of this Path are:

1. Sammadicci, (Pali) "Complete View", or "Shoken" (Japanese).

2. Samasamcappa, "Complete Thought" or "Shoshi".

3. Samavacha, "Complete Speech", or "Shoku".

4. Samacamanta, "Complete Activity", "Shogu".

5. Sama-ajiva, "Complete Livelihood", or "Shomyo".

6. Samavayama, "Complete Effort" or "Sho-shojin".

7. Samasati "Complete Mindfulness" or "Shonen".

8. Samasamadhi, "Complete Practice" or "Shojo".

Here, "complete" is how I prefer to translate this word "sama", which has also been translated as "right" or "true". So, Right View, Right Thought, Right Speech. But it is characteristic of our practice to realize that what is needed is not to be "right", but to be complete and to look into how we might realize this completeness, this wholeness through seeing and developing insight into how we scatter and break this wholeness into fragments of hope and fear. And so we say "complete", which means unbiased, thorough, whole.

When we love a person, we accept him or her exactly as is: the lovely with the unlovely, the strong along with the fearful, the true mixed in with the façade, and of course, the only way we can do it is by accepting ourselves that way.
