(3) 慧是分别一切法的自相（特殊性）与共相（一般性），通达四谛的道理而有断除迷惑证悟真理的作用。

(3) Wisdom enables one to distinguish the self-nature (sabhāva) of all dhammas from their common characteristics (samañña), to fully understand the theory of the Four Noble Truths, and thus has the function of dispelling illusions (pahīna- kilesa) and attaining truth (adhigama).

戒、定、慧三学包括四念住、四正勤、四神足、五根、五力、七觉支、八正道等修行法门，共称三十七道品。这里不一一介绍，仅简略介绍一下八正道：

The Threefold Learning of morality, concentration and wisdom are emphasized in the practice of the thirty-seven ways to enlightenment (Bodhipakkhiya-dhamma), which are the four Foundations of Mindfulness (satipaṭṭhāna), the four Right Efforts (padhāna), the four Roads to Power (iddhi- pāda), the five Spiritual Faculties (indriya), the five Mental Powers (bala), the seven Factors of Enlightenment (bojjhanga) and the eight-fold Path (magga). I won't discuss each in detail here, but I will say something about the eight-fold Path (magga):

(1) 正见，就是于一切法上见到无常无我缘起四谛之理而明确认识它，使成为自己的知见；
(2) 正思维；
(3) 正语；
(4) 正业，是使自己的生活行动受正见的指导，使身口意合于法的法则；
(5) 正命，是正当的生活方法，反对诈欺仗势骗夺他财以养自己的邪命生活；
(6) 正精进，使身口意毫不松懈地努力向正见所指的目的前进；
(7) 正念，经常忆念着正见，使正见不忘失而经常现前；
(8) 正定，在正见指导下修习进入无漏清净的禅定。

(1) Right View (sammā-diṭṭhi) is to see manifest in every dhamma the theories of Impermanence, Egolessness, Dependent Origination and the Four Noble Truths and make them as one's own knowledge;
(2) Right Thought (sammā sankappa);
(3) Right Speech (sammā vācā);
(4) Right Bodily Action (sammā kammanta) means to be guided by the right view in daily life and behavior, so the body, speech and mind are in a conformity with the law of Dhamma;
(5) Right Livelihood (sammā ājiva) means to make one's living in proper ways and oppose the vicious life of supporting oneself by swindling and defrauding others of their properties;
(6) Right Effort (sammā vāyāma) is to strive after the goal shown by the right view without let-up in actions of body, mouth and mind;
(7) Right Mindfulness (sammā sati) is to always keep the Right View in mind, bring it to mind frequently and never forget it;
(8) Right Concentration (sammā samādhi) is to practice under the guidance of the Right View, to enter the state of pure and undefiled meditation.
