Practising the Noble Eightfold Path is not just the duty of the saint or the monk striving for Nirvana –it is also a means by which the householder can secure happiness
When the factors f the Eightflfold Path arise, they do so to gether-just as the elder monk kondanna, after lidtening to the Dhammacakkapavattana Sutta instantly attained the fruit of the Stream-Entry
Thee Noble Eightfold Path arises at All Levels of Advancement The Noble Eightfold Path can be found at all levels of advancement
Practising the Middle Way is thus practicing the Noble Eightfold Path. If practiced properly, all eight components of the path will come together as a pure translucent sphere
In the Lord Buddha’s first sermon to the group of five initial disciples he advocated to steer between the extremes of sensual indulgence

The Lord Buddha explained that the Noble Eightfold Path comprises: 1. Right View [Samma Ditthi] 2. Right Intention [Samma Sankappa]
Anyone who wishes to escape from the Cycle of Existence [vadda samara], who has gone to all the trouble to re-nounce the life of a householder
