The Middle Way

I have seen many persons wrote about the Middle Way. For me, the Middle Way is differentiated by each individual perception. Something may be just right for me but too hard for the others.

Are there any rules or teaching of the Buddha that guide the meaning and application of the Middle Way?

Are there any connections between Sila and the Middle Way?

 
 
   

 


Re: The Middle Way

You are right from the commoner point of view. A lazy person's Middle Way will be doing a bit more. A hard working person's middle way might be doing slightly less. But the Buddha taught us the Middle Way not to be graping on being lazy and hardworking in our mind. Walk the path taught by Buddha without our mind disciminating that caused us feeling difficult in walking the path. As everything is mind made. This is not easy to do, but train ourself toward it. As we learn stage by stage like schooling. If we are thrown in to University without schooling before, we will failed but not if we have a good fundamental.

The teaching of Buddha is the Middle Way.

Yes, Sila is like the barrier or divider on the road so that while walking the path we do not go off from the road (deviant from the Middle Way).
