The Eightfold Path of Buddhism is one of the great religious traditions of the world.

It is also an excellent, and essential, guide to free citizens:

1.       Right Understanding

2.       Right Thought

3.       Right Speech

4.       Right Action

5.       Right Livelihood

6.       Right Effort

7.       Right Mindfulness

8.       Right Concentration

We could discuss so much about each of these and how they relate to free people and free society. Consider right concentration.

What a citizenry concentrates on becomes its future.
