The Middle Path


...in the Fourth Noble Truth the Buddha gives us not a philosophy but a method to bring an end to our suffering: the Noble Eightfold Path. He is not asking us to lead a life of self-abnegation, as an end to selfish desire might imply. He gives us what he called the Middle Path. neither self-indulgence nor self-denial.
