In the first stage of enlightenment in Buddha’s ancient path–the noble eightfold path, the stream-winners provide a simile of their experience as seen lake floor, once a fallen tree trunk parted the water in the lake, revealing the bottom of the lake–the floor. That is the noble path open to a stream-winner leading to other higher stages of the awakening, referred to as the fourth noble truth in Buddha’s teaching–the noble eightfold path.
The Middle Way: Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, taught the Eightfold Path (or Noble Eightfold Path) as the fourth Noble Truth and the direct route to Nirvana (awakening).

The path is divided into:
1. Pangna/Wisdom (Non-dual View, Non-dual Intention),
2. Seela/Ethical conduct (Non-dual Speech, Non-dual Action, Non-dual Livelihood),
and
3. Samadhi/MAditative Absorptions (Non-dual Effort, Non-dual Awareness, Non-dual Samadhi/Meditative Absorptions).

It is the precise middle way between self-indulgence and self-mortification, right and wrong, or duality.
