Each element of the Noble Eightfold Path is contained within the others, and contains the Noble Truths of suffering. When we recognize suffering and look deeply into it--the first and second Noble Truths--we are practicing Right View and Right Thinking, as well as Right Mindfulness and Right Concentration. We will see layers of causes and conditions, and can now stop ingesting the nutriments causing our suffering by practicing Right Speech, Right Action and Right Livelihood, with Mindfulness Training as a guide. When Right Mindfulness is practiced with Right Diligence, Right Concentration will allow us to practice Right View. The interbeing is true for all of Buddha's teachings.
