Question

Create a situation in which a Buddhist deals with a problem using an element from the Eightfold Path.

Answer 1

Answer:

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.
