Der mittlere Weg enthält mehrere Metaphern, die für uns in der Praxis wichtige Hinweise enthalten. Zum einen ist da das Bild eines "Weges", zum anderen der Begriff "mittlerer". Der Bedeutung dieser Metaphern wird nachgegangen über die gebräuchliche Aussage hinaus, frei von Genusssucht und Selbstkasteiung zu sein. Ein tieferes Verständnis kann hilfreich sein, die vielen scheinbaren Gegensätze in der Lehre Buddhas zu vereinen.

Tara Brach

This meditation establishes a gentle and caring presence through bringing the image and felt sense of a smile to various domains in the body. We then settle with the breath, and practice relaxing with whatever arises, letting life be just as it is. The underlying intention is to regard all experience with a clear, interested and friendly attention. The gift is a homecoming to our naturally loving presence.
