The Lord Buddha taught, that following the eightfold noble path, is leading to the attainment of arahatship (enlightenment and liberation from suffering)! For the attainment of Nibbana you have to: practice Samatha Meditation (Tranquility Meditation), Vipassana Meditation (Insight Meditation), Develop four Jhana (Absorption), develop Vipassana Nyana (Insight Knowledge), to see and fully understand the true nature of things.

Practice a lot is better than talk a lot!
