Content in the Center: Exploring the Middle Way

Published: Nov. 4, 2023, 1:17 p.m.

When we practice what the Buddha called The Middle Way, we start to realize with more clarity that contentment resides at the\xa0center of our wanting and not wanting, our indulgence or deprivation. We learn that nothing is really happy or unhappy in and of itself - no person, thing, or situation, and that our joy or sorrow depends entirely on how we are\xa0relating to our experience. This talk explores how can use our meditation practice to learn to \u201cwalk in the middle\u201d more often in order to discover more joy, ease, and balance in our lives.
