The blessed Buddha once explained:

There are these two extremes, which should not be practiced by any one, 
who has begun purification: Thehunt for sensual pleasures, which is low, 
vulgar, the common way of ordinary worldlings, ignoble, disadvantageous; 
and any practice of self-torture, which is painful, ignoble, and also quite 
disadvantageous! Without veering towards either of these extremes, the 
well-come-well-gone-beyond Buddha has awakened to this Middle Way, 
which leads to assured vision, to direct knowledge, which leads to ease, 
to peace, to certain knowledge, to Enlightenment, to Nibbāna...
And what is that Middle Way awakened to by the Buddha, which leads to 
assured vision, to directknowledge, which leads to ease, to peace, to all
certain knowledge, toEnlightenment, to Nibbāna? 


It is this very Noble 8-fold Way: That is


That is indeed the very Middle Way awakened to bythe Blessed Buddha,
which leads to assured vision, todirect knowledge, which leads to ease, 
to certain knowledge, to Peace, to Bliss, to Enlightenment, to Nibbāna...
