Contemplating emptiness, the Middle Way, and the emptiness of self nature
“This being, that becomes. From the arising of this, that arises. This not being, that does not become. From the ceasing of this, that ceases.”
Why contemplation of emptiness and of the Middle Way are one?
Seeing things as they truly are, transcending right or wrong, good or evil, without attaching to a certain standpoint. This is the Middle Way.
The Middle Way and its applications
The Middle Way requires us to think in emptiness and act according to conditions, without taking a fixed standpoint, attaching to a certain judgment. Thereby we can constantly make progress.
The Middle Way and its application (continued)
In the Middle Way, we live in accordance with conditions, without attaching to the present, right and wrong, good and evil. We seek transcendence by constantly making improvement.
