Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Why did the Buddha decide to follow a “middle way"? He decided to find a balance between the extremes of pleasure and pain. What 4 Noble Truths did he discover? 1-Suffering is present in all things, and nothing lasts forever.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Middle Way (majjhimāpaṭipadā) In this sutta, the Buddha describes the Noble Eightfold Path as the Middle Way which steers clear of the extremes of sensual indulgence and self-mortification: Monks, these two extremes ought not to be practiced by one who has gone forth from the household life.
