Ethical+Conductnh

The three detailed ways of the ethical conduct include right speech, right action, and right livelihood. The right speech involves the first principle of ethical conduct in the eightfold path. Ethical conduct is viewed as a guideline to moral disipline, which supports the other principles of the path. The second ethical principle, right action, involves the body as natural means of expression, as it refers to deeds that involve bodily actions. Unwholesome actions lead to unsound states of mind, while wholesome actions lead to sound states of mind. Finally third the right livelyhood means that one should earn one's living in a righteous way and that wealth should be gained legally and peacefully.
