Enlightenment, which is a state in which we see all things clearly, just as they are, without judgments and preconceptions, and where suffering ends can be attained by following what the Buddha described as the Eightfold Path. It is a path between the extremes of sensual pleasure and asceticism. The Buddha made this observation when he became aware of the impact of his opulent early life as a prince and the lack of progress towards enlightenment he archived as a wandering (and starving) mendicant holy man. The Noble Eightfold Path was also described by the Buddha as The Middle Way. The Noble Eightfold Path consists of:

1. Right View

2. Right Intention (thought)

3. Right Speech

4. Right Action

5. Right Livelihood

6. Right Effort

7. Right Mindfulness

8. Right Concentration

Now, it should be said that its not just intellectually "getting it". It is living it in your whole being which gets you to enlightenment. I intellectually get the concept of emptiness of inherit existence, but I still working on seeing it without thinking about it. That's the hard part. When it becomes you then you are enlightened. It like learning a new language, for many years you have to translate from one language to another, but when you finally get it, you think in the new language! It is really amazing when that happens. That's the same difference between understanding and practicing the Buddha's teachings and actually becoming enlightened.
