This is the first video in the Middle Way Philosophy introductory course.
Some suggested reflection questions:
- How far does the Middle Way reflect your own intuitions?
- Can you find examples in your own experience where you have practised the Middle Way?
- What other beliefs or ideas in your own background does it best relate to?
- What does it most challenge in your own beliefs and ideas?

Greetings,
I trust that you are centred in happiness.
I have an MA in Buddhist Ethics, & I consider my viewpoint to be concordant to Madhyamaka. I think that I comprehend Arya Nagarjuna fairly well, however mind-bending it can be. It makes sense to me. It’s not ‘common sense’, simply because many people do not sense it: Madhyamaka phenomenology does not make sense to ontological thinking that demands ‘beginnings’ & ‘endings’. I am comfortable with what came before & what comes after, & so forth.
I have just ‘randomly’ found this website, by entering ‘Madhyamaka is not Buddhism’ as a search term, which was obviously preconditioned by my thinking, & so forth.
I shall explore this site.
May all beings actualise equanimity.
Best regards,
Pete
I very much appreciate your explanatory video, thank you. I found this site via the book; “After Buddhism a workbook”, and looking at the back of it to the authors and was curious. I am a newcomer to the USA Secular Buddhist site as it has online meetings, and I find it valuable. Their book club is reading “After Buddhism”
I hope to find out more about the Middle Way Society. Thankyou, Lilly
