What is The Middle Path?

The Buddha explained The Middle Path in His first sermon delivered at Sarnath in Varanasi to five acetics.People should not practice these two extremes: Sensual enjoyment and painful austerity.The Buddha has achieved right vision, facts, pure knowledge, peace and nibban(salvation) by following middle path which is Right Understanding, Right Thoughts, Right Speech, Right Action, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right Mindfulness, and Right Concentration. It's personal experience of The Buddha. He realised that through these two extreme: Sensual enjoyment and Self-mortification can't get happiness,peace,pure knowledge and salvation.He realised that Enlightenment gained by following the Middle Path. That is why every human being apply the Middle Path in the life.
