Buddhism in Daily Life

The Middle Way

....the Middle Way should not be confused with passivity or a kind of middle-of-the-road compromise. To tread the Middle Way rather implies ongoing effort. In the broadest sense, the Middle Way refers to the correct view of life that the Buddha teachers, and to the actions or attitudes that will create happiness for oneself and others.
