“I think that whatever we encounter in life, we want to encourage a balance between the mind and the soul...and that is to consider about 50% data from the mind and 50% data from the soul. This is what Buddhists call, "the middle way."” ThinkingWayWantMindSoulMiddleBalanceBuddhistDataEncountersMiddle Way Author:Neale Donald Walsch
“Some people will follow their minds without listening to their hearts, and others will follow their hearts without listening to their minds. This is why reason exists, for there to be balance between the heart and mind. We were not meant to follow the mind and ignore the heart. Instead, we were meant to follow the heart over the mind, but without completely abandoning logic. The middle way is the preferred way, and this path simply means to allow your heart to drive you, but do not forget to balance reason with your conscience.” PeopleWayMindHeartMeanReasonForgetPathMiddleListeningBalanceConscienceLogicHeart And MindMiddle Way Author:Suzy Kassem
“There's many lanes on the highway of enlightenment, they don't have to be on the razor's edge like the yellow line dotted in the middle. Balance is appropriate, not too tight, not too loose, the Middle Way as we call it in Buddhist dharma teachings.” WayLinesTeachingMiddleBalanceEnlightenmentEdgesBuddhistAppropriateYellowHighwaysDharmaLanesRazorsMiddle Way Author:Surya Das
