#middleway — Public Fediverse posts

Crushing yourself and abandoning yourself are both detours.

The Buddha walked away from both extremes and called the road between them the Middle Way. You can grow without punishing yourself. One steady step at a time.

"First, one puts an end to what is not meritorious.
In the middle, one puts an end to identity.
Later, one puts an end to all views.
Those who understand this are skilled."

#Buddhism offers a nuanced approach to #sexuality that differs from many traditions: rather than condemning #SameSex relationships, core teachings evaluate actions based on intention, harm, and attachment. Early texts lack explicit prohibitions of #homosexuality, while monastic celibacy rules apply universally regardless of orientation. However, Buddhism's #MiddleWay invites #ethical engagement beyond rigid identity categories.

#Mosshōseki (没蹤跡) in #Zen #Buddhism expresses the ideal of acting without leaving traces of attachment or self-reference. Rooted in non-attachment and impermanence (#anicca), it advocates a #MiddleWay: engaging fully in life while letting go of outcomes, embodying freedom and responsibility.

Ever feel like you're forced to pick a side in a fight that helps no one but the greedy? Maybe it's time to reject extremes and vibe in the middle. We’ve got more in common than we think. 🌍✨

The #MiddleWay (Majjhimā Paṭipadā) is a central Buddhist principle advocating a path of moderation between self-indulgence and self-mortification. It underpins the #EightfoldPath, guides ethical and meditative practice, and is philosophically refined in #Madhyamaka thought as a rejection of extremes. This post examines its historical roots, implications in Buddhist philosophy, and its relevance in meditation and ethical contexts:

"What happens to us is that whatever appears to our mind seems to have its own independent objective existence, and we need to check whether things exist in that way or not. And in that critical analysis we should try to search for emptiness... With the reasoning of dependent origination, we are able to dispel both the extremes of #nihilism and eternalism." - His Holiness the #DalaiLama
