Sophia Buddhist Middle Way Reflection
The Middle Way is the Buddha's foundational insight: extremes — whether of pleasure-seeking or self-denial — both lead to suffering. The practical path is a balanced engagement with life that avoids compulsive attachment at either end. Reflecting on where you're out of balance is the practice.
