So I've been told. Once, the Blessed One stayed in Baraasi in the Deer Park of Isipatana. The Buddha then addressed the five bhikkhus:

Bhikkhus, no one who has experienced homelessness should follow any of these extremes. What many are there? the difficult, dishonorable, and counterproductive pursuit of self-mortification as contrasted to the pursuit of pleasurable pleasures (which is base, vulgar, the path of worldlings, ignoble, and unbeneficial). The Tathagata has found the middle way that leads to vision, which leads to knowledge, which leads to tranquillity, which leads to direct insight, which leads to enlightenment, which leads to Nibbana.

"And what, bhikkhus, did the Tathagata awaken to, that gives birth to vision... that leads to Nibbana?" The eightfold path consists of correct viewpoint, right purpose, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. This, bhikkhus, is the Tathagata-awakened middle road that leads to tranquillity, offers direct knowledge, and results in Nirvana.
In summary, the five aggregates prone to clutching are suffering "
This, bhikkhus, is the noble truth of the origin of suffering: yearning sensual pleasures, craving life, and craving death. "Accompanied by happiness and ardor, in search of pleasure everywhere," " Now, bhikkhus, this is the noble truth of the cessation of suffering: it is the full and entire vanishing of that exact same craving, the letting go and letting go of it, the freedom from it and the nondependence on it " The Noble Truth of the Path that Ends Suffering is the Eightfold Path of Right View, Right Concentration, Right Effort, Right Speech, and Right Action, bhikkhus " "This is the noble reality of suffering"; thus, bhikkhus, with reference to hitherto unheard of things, vision, knowledge, wisdom, actual knowledge, and light arose in me.
As a consequence of hearing the words, "This wonderful truth of suffering must be fully realized," I gained insight, understanding, wisdom, actual knowledge, and illumination about topics I had never heard of before.
As a consequence of hearing the words, "This glorious truth of suffering has been fully realized," I gained insight, understanding, wisdom, actual knowledge, and illumination about hitherto unheard of matters bing maps
As I heard the words, "This is the magnificent truth of the beginning of agony," I gained insight, comprehension, wisdom, actual knowledge, and enlightenment about hitherto unheard-of matters.
""This noble truth of the source of suffering is to be abandoned," and thus, bhikkhus, there arose in me vision, knowledge, wisdom, actual knowledge, and illumination about unheard-of things.
Because of the words, "This glorious reality about the source of suffering has been abandoned," I gained insight, comprehension, wisdom, actual knowledge, and enlightenment concerning hitherto unheard-of matters "
'This is the noble truth of the cessation of suffering,' and thus, bhikkhus, of things never before heard, vision, knowledge, wisdom, actual knowledge, and illumination dawned in me.
When I heard the words, "This magnificent reality of the end of suffering is to be realized," something amazing occurred: I acquired insight, comprehension, wisdom, actual knowledge, and enlightenment about previously unknown topics.
""This noble truth of the cessation of suffering has been understood"; as a result, bhikkhus, vision, knowledge, wisdom, actual knowledge, and illumination arose in me about previously unknown things.
Regarding hitherto unheard of things, there arose in me vision, knowledge, wisdom, genuine knowledge, and enlightenment; this, bhikkhus, is the noble truth of the path leading to the cessation of suffering.
Vision, knowledge, wisdom, actual understanding, and enlightenment came to me about topics I had never heard of when I heard the words "This glorious truth of the technique leading to the cessation of suffering must be established." "
"This noble truth of the technique leading to the cessation of suffering has been developed": so, bhikkhus, vision, knowledge, wisdom, actual knowledge, and illumination dawned in me about things never before heard.
