Homonym: Samma (Right)
Samma is a term derived from the Pali language, often translated as "right" or "proper." It is a key concept in Buddhism, particularly in the context of the Noble Eightfold Path, which outlines the way to achieve enlightenment. Samma emphasizes the importance of ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom in one's actions and thoughts.
In the Noble Eightfold Path, Samma is associated with several elements, including Samma Ditthi (right understanding) and Samma Sankappa (right intention). These components guide individuals in making moral choices and developing a clear understanding of reality, ultimately leading to spiritual growth and liberation from suffering.
