[654] The Blessed One said this: "One should not pursue sensual happiness (kāmasukha) — low, vulgar, belonging to the ordinary worldling (pothujjanika), ignoble, not connected with benefit; nor should one pursue the practice of self-mortification (attakilamathānuyoga) — painful, ignoble, not connected with benefit. Without approaching either of these two extremes, the middle way of practice (majjhimā paṭipadā) has been fully awakened to by the Tathāgata — producing vision, producing knowledge (ñāṇa), it leads to peace, to direct knowledge, to full awakening, to Nibbāna (nibbāna). One should know extolling and one should know disparaging; having known extolling and having known disparaging, one should neither extol nor disparage, but should teach only the Dhamma. One should know how to judge happiness; having known how to judge happiness, one should pursue inner happiness. One should not utter speech behind another's back, nor should one speak overly sharp words to another's face. One should speak only unhurriedly, not hurriedly. One should not insist upon local terminology, nor should one override common usage." This is the summary statement (uddesa) of the Analysis of Non-Conflict (Araṇavibhaṅga).
