The Four Right Exertions

What if someone gave you four simple things to consider and practice that would have a great benefit to you?

Buddhism appeals to me because of the logic and simplicity it applies to ethics and personal conduct.

According to the Eightfold Noble Path, the Four Right Exertions that a person should pursue are:

1. Abandon unwholesome and unskillful qualities in your conduct.
2. Do not begin any new unwholesome or unskillful qualities.
3. Begin to practice wholesome and skillful conduct.
4. Seek to maintain and increase skillful qualities that have arisen.

Study, practice and experience the way revealed by the Buddha.
