noble path

Virtuous course forward

Noble path refers to a course of action or way of living guided by moral principle, honor, or higher purpose rather than self-interest.

Most specifically, it appears in Buddhism's Noble Eightfold Path—the Buddha's prescription for ending suffering through right understanding, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration.

More broadly, any difficult but principled approach to life: She chose the noble path of forgiveness over revenge.
