The Noble Eightfold Path Way to the End of Suffering

This book offers a concise, clear, and thorough account of the Noble Eightfold Path, written by the esteemed scholar-monk Bhikkhu Bodhi. He explains each path-factor from the angles of both theory and practice, with a final chapter on the unity of the Buddhist path and its culmination in enlightenment.
From the preface by the author:
"The essence of the Buddha's teaching can be summed up in two principles: the Four Noble Truths and the Noble Eightfold Path. The first covers the side of doctrine, and the primary response its elicits is understanding; the second covers the side of discipline, in the broadest sense of that word, and the primary response it calls for is practice."
