Dear Larry and friends,

what I understand is that the N8P (Noble Eightfold Path) transcends
right and wrong. It is often known to be aryan or noble. On the
practicality of N8P, it avoids the extremes, it is neither "left" nor
"right", but "middle", hence it is also known as the Middle Way.
However, that is when the entire N8P is taken as a whole.

When we break it into components, such as "sammaditthi", 'right' is a
good translation for 'sammaa', as Gunnar has explained.

metta,
Yong Peng.

I am researching the concept of "sammaditthi" which I understand often
to be translated into "Right Understanding" or "Right View."
