To match Siddhartha's actions that led him to the Middle Way, we can pair them as follows:
- Life with religious ascetics :: life of suffering
- Life as Hindu prince :: life given to pleasures
- Meditating under Bodhi Tree :: enlightenment
These pairings reflect Siddhartha's journey from indulgence as a prince, through extreme asceticism, to ultimately finding enlightenment through moderation, which is the essence of the Middle Way.
