Buddhism does not consider the undertaking of ascetic practices and austerities as a necessary prerequisite for liberation. Austere practices however, do have a place in the Buddhadharma, but they must always be chosen voluntarily and preferably be time-limited.

Sleeping on the floor is one such austere practice. When younger, the floor was my trusted friend in austerity. In old age, rising from the floor became difficult.  -  Tashi Nyima
