4. do not commit evil acts, such as killing, stealing, or living an unclean life.
5. earn your living in a proper way.
6. work for good and oppose evil.
7. make sure your mind keeps your senses under control.
8. practice meditation to detach yourself from the world

the four noble truths:
1. Life is suffering
2. People suffer because they desire worldly things and want to satisfy themselves
3. The way to end suffering is to stop desiring things
4.The only way to stop desiring things is to follow the Eightfold Path

Explanation:

A man, a Buddhist, is on his way home.  He's late. He knows his wife will be worried. He has no way of communicating with her. He does not want to waste time, but he does not want to worry needlessly either.

He must stoop fretting. He will be home soon enough. He must clear his mind of all thoughts but one -- that one being that he not fret lest there are two people fretting, neither accomplishing anything.

The meditates as he walks. He sees a butterfly heading towards a flower. He accepts the harmony of the butterfly and the flower.

He hurries home.

This uses 8 of the Eightfold Path.
