Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Buddha himself followed this path of asceticism before his enlightenment, but he found that it does not lead to the goal. Therefore he called the path of self-affliction, painful, ignoble and not conducive to the goal. In place of these extremes the Buddha holds up the Noble Eightfold Path as the middle way.
Detailed explanation-2: -Buddha taught that one should avoid extremes-extreme penance or extreme pleasure, but instead follow a middle path. That is why Buddhism is also called the Great Middle Path.
