The phrase "Great Way" refers to a path or method that leads to enlightenment, spiritual awakening and liberation from suffering. It is often used in Buddhism to describe the eightfold path taught by Buddha as a means of attaining Nirvana - the ultimate state of peace and freedom from worldly concerns. The Great Way emphasizes the importance of right understanding, right intention, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration in order to achieve spiritual liberation.
