The Buddhist 8 point wheel. The eight-fold path. 1. Right Understanding (Samma ditthi) 2. Right Thought (Samma sankappa) 3. Right Speech (Samma vaca) 4. Right Action (Samma kammanta) 5. Right Livelihood (Samma ajiva) 6. Right Effort (Samma vayama) 7. Right Mindfulness (Samma sati) 8. Right Concentration (Samma samadhi) Pretty simple and not an in-your-face type of thing. Just good advice.
