तिसिक्खा Tisikkha in Pāli refers to The Three Disciplines within The Eightfold Path. These three areas are:

  1. शील Śīla (Ethical Conduct): This involves the cultivation of morality and ethical behavior, including actions, speech, and livelihood that are in harmony with the moral precepts.
  2. समाधि Samādhi (Mental Discipline or Concentration): This focuses on the development of mental concentration and clarity through practices such as meditation, which lead to a calm and focused mind.
  3. प्रज्ञा Prajñā (Wisdom or Insight): This entails the cultivation of deep understanding and insight into the true nature of reality, particularly the understanding of impermanence, suffering, and non-self.

Together, these three aspects form a comprehensive framework for the Buddhist path, guiding practitioners towards the ultimate goal of liberation and enlightenment.
