Right Thought (or Right Intention) means our thoughts, feelings, desires, and intentions are in complete harmony with the wisdom of life, in accordance with the way reality works.

With Right Thought, our thoughts and intentions are completely free from selfish desire, hostility, and cruelty.

Right Thought means our thinking, attitude, and motivation, are rightly aligned with love, kindness, compassion, wisdom, and harmlessness, and these noble qualities are extended to all living beings.  

Right Thought is directly related to Right Speech and Right Action; the way we think always influences our speech and actions. Therefore, our misunderstanding of reality causes wrong thinking, which gives rise to non-virtuous speech and actions which cause harm.  

Right Thought gives rise to virtuous speech and actions which bring happiness and benefit.

When our thought, desire, intention, and motivation are in harmony with Reality, the Way, the Dharma, this is Right Thought.  

Through Right Thought we cultivate wisdom, an essential aspect of the Path.
