The Middle Way View (on site and live online)

Public Talk | H. E. Zong Rinpoche

The Middle Way is a fundamental concept in Buddhist philosophy that aims to avoid extremes in our path to enlightenment as well as in our understanding of reality. This view should help us to understand that we will not achieve our spiritual goals through self-indulgence or self-denial, but only if we follow a middle path or the so-called Noble Eightfold Path. Also, in exploring the reality in which we live and sharpening our understanding of the empty nature of all phenomena, we should not fall into the extremes of externalism (phenomena exist permanently and independently) or nihilism (phenomena do not exist at all).
In this talk H.E. Zong Rinpoche will give us an introduction to the profound concept of the Middle Way View and how we can apply this view in our daily lives.
