DOCTRINE  NEUTRAL .

Middle Way  (madhyamOe-pratipad) is  way  away from two  extremes : at the age of  lust  and  practice  austerity , it is the  experience  drawn from  ourselves  of him, after living to enjoy in  the palace , and  spent  6 years  ascetic , thanks to  this path  he  achieved  enlightenment  and  liberation  under the  tree Bodhi .

Since then, the  middle not  just  views  life of  Buddhism ,  denotes spiritual  centrist  openness not  bigotry , it is a  system of philosophy  profound  of  Buddhist  Mahayana ,  specifically  as the  seconded Middle The shop (Mādhyamaka, Mādhyamika).

From the  Meaning The Middle  Way is defined as to stay away from the two  extremes : To enjoy  desire  and  practice  asceticism,  progressively  evolves to avoid two  extremes :  acceptance and  attachment, , generally denying  attitude  obstinate conservatives , either one side or the other. From this meaninglessness leads to the  definition of the Middle  Way is  the path of the  Noble Path , the  middle path  is  the doctrine of Dependent Origination , Middle path  is the  first meaning . Of course every concept of  a Middle  of each  period of history different, more or less of course they also carry  significantdifference, how  explain  analyze also the difference, especially to the  period of  Buddhist  University excess  (Mah-Yna), this concept is analyzed  philosophy  very detailed glass.

The contents of this article,  the author  tries to  make  clear  every  sense  of it through the  texts  of each  Ministry dispatched .

1. Do not fall into two  extremes :  sensual  and  ascetic  as the  middle way

As a  Buddhist , perhaps no one is unaware of the identity of  his teacher,  Shakyamuni Buddha . He was originally the country's prince  of Kapilavastu  (Kapila-vastu), the children  only  of King  Suddhodana  (Suddhodana). Therefore, it is said that when he was not  ordained,  he was able to live in the  royal court . Winter  , the palace warm for  winter , summer palace also  cool  for summer,  concubines,  female beauty, dance, partying  countless matter. Over  a  period of enjoyment, He himself felt  hidden in his suffering not only for him but for himself, for  the palace  and the  country . Assertive  enjoyment that is not the kind of  happy  true , so in 29 years (North passed to the age of 19) he  decided to  give up  the lifestyle  enjoyed it  ordained  quest for  enlightenment and  liberation .

He felt physical  health gradually and  mentally lucid , the  eventhelped him declared method of practice  His middle path , avoid the two extremes  lived desires  and acts of suffering  unfortunate. As he mentioned in many of the A functions  as well as Nikya, specifically  as' Beijing Forever Avoid  Discrimination 'in the' Business Central "Episode 3, recorded as follows: The main events have helped him declared method of practice His middle path , avoid the two extremes lived desires and acts of sufferingunfortunate. As he mentioned in many of the A functions as well as Nikya, specifically as' Beijing Forever Avoid Discrimination 'in the' Business Central "Episode 3, recorded as follows: The main events have helped him  declared method of practice His  middle path , avoid the two  extremes lived  desires and  acts of sufferingunfortunate. As he mentioned in many of the  A functions as well as Nikya,  specifically as' Beijing  Forever Avoid Discrimination 'in the' Business Central "Episode 3, recorded as follows:               

"Do not  practice the  sensual , inferior, despicable,  ordinary , unworthy saint, no  contact  purposes . And should not be  practiced  autism  asceticism ,  suffering , not worthy saint, no  contact  purposes . To renounce these two  extremes  , there is  the middle path that  has been  enlightened by  the Tathagata ,  making  eye,  making the  mind, leading to  tranquility , victory,  enlightenment , Nirvana. "

Medium passages lead content,  the Buddha  advised you  , brethren  or, rather, for all  the people  not to fall into two  extremes is to live  life  unbridled enjoyment or live  ascetic  mortification . According to him, these two  lifestyles  are not  beneficial  for themselves. What is  a  lethargy of  enjoyment  ? Let the problem be  understood  clearly, we try to  learn  sect  materialism  of Mr. Ajita Kesa Kambala, is one of six schools  of philosophy .

"What is due to what is due to what is  corporeal  , due to  something demented  , due to falling into something, causing  beings to  look  like this , saying  like this : 'There is no  giving , no association There is no saying, no good  karma , no evil, no life, no other life, no  parents , no  beings , no  world ,   no world There is no master, right direction for this life or  the next ... "2

Ajita Kesa Kambala was the  patriarchs  of the tribe  materialism , also called  Thuan World , said that four elements: earth, water, fire, wind are factors  exist  independently ,  man  and  the world by 4 this great picture St. Negating the  existence of the  soul  or ego, death is the end,  the four great  returns for  the four elements, in addition to four  elements of this nothing. Therefore,  the purpose  of  human life  is to seek pleasure, and in all things enjoy these pleasures, even when we are alive, to  regret  the latter. actually not happy ; moreover it is not only dangerous to yourself, but also dangerous for  society ,  partake of afflictions , do not bring  enlightenment  and liberation , so the Buddha advised bhikkhus  should abandon the lifestyle  of this. However,he does not deny the value  of matter . As shown in the "Sutra" of No. 912 as follows: Without bringing enlightenment and liberation , the Buddha advised the bhikkhus to abandon this lifestyle . However, he does not deny the value of matter . As shown in the "Sutra" of No. 912 as follows: Without bringing enlightenment and  liberation ,  the Buddha advised the  bhikkhus to  abandon this lifestyle . However, he does not deny  the value of  matter . As shown in the "Sutra" of No. 912 as follows:     

"Hey village head, there are three categories of people like to enjoy the  pleasure , belongs to the  ordinary ,  continuous death , rustic  inferior ...

"Hey village head, what are the three categories of people like to enjoy the  pleasure , belongs to  ordinary  income from  rustic  inferior  ? Is there who enjoy  sensual  by abuse accounted unjustly  legitimate , does not bring joy to yourself, nor to support the elderly  parents ,  providing  full brother,  wife and children , who are,  relative  location Belonging ,  acquaintances ; nor  customize the  offerings  for recluses, Brahmin, to demand  retribution  peace  where  good , looking forward to  the next life born to  heaven . 

"And again, the village head, others enjoy the  pleasure  by taking measures inflation accounted possessions unjustly  legitimate to manually  provide  all the  joy  for yourself, take care of the  parents ,  provide  full brother,  wife and children , who make,  relatives  relatives , friends,  acquaintances ; but  depending on the  offerings  for recluses, Brahmin, to demand  retribution  peace where  good , looking forward to  the next life  born to  heaven . That is called the second class  enjoyment .

"Again, this headman, a pleasurable  person  using the French search  for  material and not by abuse to self-  supply  all  joy  for himself,  provide  for  parents ,  provide  full brother,  wife and children , who are,  relative  relatives , friends,  acquaintances , also  depending on the  offerings  for recluses, Brahmin, to demand  retribution  peace  where  good , looking forward to  life after  birth and up  Heaven . That is the third class of enjoyment. "

After appropriating a person, he enjoys enjoying himself ,  serving himself and  his family  , but does not  offer him ,  Brahman , to seek  blessings  in the future. Third, the type of person who earns  the property is  not a misappropriation, with  the strength  of his. After earning money, he enjoys the  wealth  he has earned, knows how  to  help  his wife, children ,  parents ,  siblings  and relatives, also  know  alms offerings  to  recluses Brahmins  to seek  retribution  in the future. Of the three classes of beneficiaries  using  this material,  the Buddha  criticized the first-class and  praised  the third person. It shows that  the Buddha does not advocate  extremism , but is not  absolute equanimity. enjoy spending rebuttal  material , making money  right  and spend  reasonably  still be  Buddha  agreed. However, we should also note that, although property  alone earn a  legitimate ,  usingmoney  that enjoying  sensual  an  insatiable , how to enjoy it nor  consistent  with  the spirit of life use the material  in  Buddhism , why? because according to the  opinion  of  the Buddha  , enjoy  the material  has two  effects  good and bad: It's called good and useful only when the  receptor to its logical , makes  the body healthy, not sickness; The opposite is called bad, because they will make the body  sick, not  healthy ,  eating excessive , excessive nutrient that  the body can  not  digest  is  becoming sick. Through the developed countries  the excess material , diseases belong  eating  enjoy so much, as  the type of  disease obesity, cholesterol ... are derived from the  diet  lived. This is  the meaning  why  Buddha  refute  extremist  One is  life enjoyment. However, the Buddha  did not agree with  the life of asceticism , is  life damnation  body, no  benefits  , as sect  Jainism  advocate. Refers to  practices of asceticism  of this sect, like, '' State Aggregates Business Suffering 'in the' Business Central "reported as follows:                

"Hey Mahanama, one time I stay at Rajagaha ( Rajgir ), Mountain Gijjhakuta (Vulture). At that time, a lot of  Ni events from (Nigantha) at Isigili ridge, on Kalasila (Black Cliff), stand up straight, do not sit and  feel  the  feeling  pathetic , suffering, fierce, sharp .. "4

This is the  story  are the eyes  Bhagavan  saw even the  Ni events from  at ridge Isigili  practice of  asceticism , they all day and all night to stand not sitting or lying, or lying on the spikes, located on the dead stink, no eating or drinking ...  tolerate  the  sensation  of suffering fierce. For  the purpose of  seeking  enlightenment  and  liberation . As they explain:

"Nigantha Nataputta - is the one  omniscient , all is ... He said as follows: Nigantha Hey, if  old  people can do  evil , do for him now worn by  ascetics  fiercely. The absence   of future karmicretribution is due to the  maintenance  of the body, the  maintenance  of  speech , the  maintenance  of the mind in the  present , in this place. Thus, thanks to the scorching, the  termination  of the industrial  past , the industry did not make the new, without  continuing  in the future. Due  to  future discontinuities, The karma is eradicated ; Because karma is  eradicated , suffering is  eliminated ; As suffering is  eradicated ,  feelings  are  eradicated ; by  feeling  is  eradicated , all the suffering will be consumed ... "5

Through content passages has led, the  Patriarch  of the sect  Ni events from  explained , want to  destroy  the  evil  in  the past , by  practicing  austerity , making the body increasingly  suffering fierce how much the  The evil karma  is worn out soon. The draining  karma makes  the body  is  purified ,  enlightened  and  liberated  appear . Opinion  destroy now  is  completely  different from the  viewpoint  Removal Industry of  Buddhism . Buddhism says that in the three karmas,  mind  is the most important, the body has done evil, the mouth speak evil words, are directed by the  direction . Therefore, the origin of suffering  affliction  of  man is due to  ignorance , want to  eradicate  ignorance  , the instant invention to obtain  wisdom  , to  steer  the body and mouth do  good works  speak of the  rational , not the damned tortured  body, if  austerity  brings  enlightenment  liberation , these convicts will be  a Buddha  enlightenment  freed  before  us . Therefore,  methods  of practice  in  Buddhism  is not the  practice of asceticism , with  material life  enough , know  least sexual contentment , and by all means to revive  the Buddha nature , is  functional  intelligence  of  humans , When   this  function appears, It is the torch that breaks the darkness of ignorance , cut off the fiber of  affliction . What is  the life  of education  ? Be a  shame , said  positions  and their abilities, needs  necessary  indispensable for  ordained  enough  not  lack  is, life does not  imitate , not as people want to end this one then Want the other. How sufficient level are  depending  on each person,  depending  on the  circumstances  living  society , 

In summary , the enjoyment of  lust  transition  is an  extremist ; opposite  lifestyles  ascetic ,  damned  body is also an  extremist , both  lifestyles do not bring  benefits  for themselves to others,  partake of  afflictions , brought suffering ..., so  Buddha  It is advisable for  us  to stay away from these two  extremes  , and to live  the  Middle Way , ie, the non- extreme life of  aesthetically pleasing or  ascetic . This is the meaning  of the concept of  the middle way  is  the Buddha  discovered and  declared  after he  underwent  two  lifestyle  enjoyment  character education  and  practice  austerity . This is also the  reason  why He  defines the Middle  Path as  the Path of the Noble  Eightfold Path (S. îryŒ • Œvgika-mrrga, P. Ariya aÊ hahaggika magga), as he presents it in the ' "Kinh Central A function" as follows:

"  It leaves  the two  extremes  is there  a middle ,  work the  eye,  working to position  themselves in ,  the city  set, brought to mind, leads to  enlightenment , leading to Nirvana '. What  are the  reasons for  this? Here,  the  eight directions, from  right understanding  to  right concentration , are called eight. Because the event  is that said:  It leaves  the two  extremes  is there  a middle ,  working into  the eyes, 

Even in 'The Book of Zhuan Falun' in The  Great  Lotus Sutra,  the Middle Way  is  the path of the  Noble Eightfold Path.

"Buddha monks ... all he  needs to  know, who  ordained  two types of  obstacles . What's called two? One is the mind's attachment to landscape education, difficult to  escape  this scene, this is the class of people  ordinary  inanimate  inferior , not the scene to saint for the eyes, because it is not the people's  liberation , not It is the cause of the  lust , not the cause of the  divine , not  the Buddha , nor the cause of  Nirvana . Two had no legs  right thinking  will bring  suffering  itself, Not only suffering in the past  but also  suffering  in the  present  and in the future. Therefore,  bhikkhus  need to  give up  these two kinds. I now because they say the Middle  Way, the bhikkhu  need to  listen. What is called Middle Way  ? Right view , right thinking , right speech , right action , right livelihood , right effort , right mindfulness  and right concentration. "7 Bhikkhus need to give upthese two kinds. I now because they say the Middle Way, the bhikkhu need to listen. What is called Middle Way ? Right view , right thinking , right speech , right action , right livelihood , right effort , right mindfulness and right concentration. "7 Bhikkhus need to give up these two kinds. I now because they say  the MiddleWay, the  bhikkhu need to listen. What is called  Middle Way? Right view ,  right thinking ,  right speech ,  right action ,  right livelihood ,  right effort ,  right mindfulness and right concentration. "7

We  try to put  the problem : Why  people  fall into two  lifestyles extreme : indulge in the enjoyment of  character education  and  damned  himself by  way of religious  asceticism  ? Seriously  learn  the cause , they arise from  ignorance  (avidyOe), due to  ignorance  does not  recognize  are the right and wrong,  harassment , right and wrong, so for the right to be wrong, the wrong is right,  Practicing  should not  practice ,  practice  should be worthy  of practice , Leading to suffering  misery. Want to  terminate the  ignorance  of this  need to  light a  shrewd  wisdom, expressed by  way  Eightfold , ie: 1.  Right  (P. samma - ditthati) 2.  Right Thought  (P. samma - sankappa) 3.  Right Speech  (samma P. - vaca), 4.  Right Action  (samma P. - kammanta), 5.  Right Livelihood  (samma P. - ajiva), 6.  Right effort  (P. samma - vayama), 7 .  Mindfulness  (P. samma - sati), 8.  Right Concentration  (P. sammdhiti). It means that when people live by  right understanding  , they have  righteous thoughts  ; For  righteous thoughts  to speak righteous deeds and righteous  deeds , life is also righteous; Therefore, thanks to this  right view of  right thinking  , the  effort  of the person is also right, the thought is also righteous, because the thought is right, so he lives and works in the mind; Who lives in the mind, he has  wisdom ; A  wise  person is the one who knows the right thing to do wrong,  the good  of good deeds , the gain of self, the harm of self, Knowing so, he does not fall into these two extremes  . This is  the meaning  to be  the Buddha to  mean Chinese  religion is the  path  'Eightfold Path'.

Strictly speaking,  the meaning  of  this Middle Way concept  , which is  related to  matter , refers to the  middle way of  referring to enjoyment and  asceticism  as two  extremes . But this is not the  meaning  only  the  theoretical  middle way , from concept development to later developments of  reasoning  can not usually guess the two  extremes  of  knowledge . This is the point  we need to pay attention. In the two sections below,  we  will  explore the concept as mentioned above

2.  Do not accept  two  extremes : there is no  Middle Way

The  metaphysical problems  that  the Buddha  did not  respond to were: "The world is organic  or  impermanent ,  the world  is boundless  or  infinite ; Life means body or other life; Tathagata extinction , or  Tathagata not  extinct ...? '8 is the  problem  to be the  philosophy  of India contemporary  interest  and constantly  discussed , whoever  the list , is  the social  attention, he must choose one of two  views  extreme  this. Likewise, the Buddha  is  a  contemporary celebrity, with  the theory of  Dependent Origination , claiming that  life  is  impermanent , so he is also  questioned . Question:  The world is  often or  impermanent  ? That  means  to ask:  If the Blessed  One assumes that  the world is ordinary, that means he  accepts  this world  'yes'; If he said that  the world  is  impermanent , that is to  accept  the view :  this world  is not. If human beings  and  this world  are not, destroy what  practice  to do? This is the  problem  that the  Philosophy  of Religion  that time wanted  the Buddha stated  views  around. Actually,  Buddha  base from  moral  Origination , which should lead to  the conclusion :  Humans  and  the world  is  impermanent. The content and  meaning  of the concept of 'impermanence' (S. Anitya, P. anattan), it does not mean to deny the  existence  of  man  and  the world , concept concept of impermanence  to the  philosophy  of India  is a new concept, not in the traditional way of thinking turyen, so they put  the problem  with Bhagavan  is very straightforward  and obvious . This is the reason  why, in classic Buddhism  often refers to the concept of yes and no. As the "Sutra of the Buddha " mentioned  : So they put the problem to the Blessed One is very easy to understand and obvious . This is the reason why, in classic Buddhism often refers to the concept of yes and no. As the "Sutra of the Buddha " mentioned : So they put the problem to the  Blessed One is very  easy to understand and  obvious . This is the  reason why, in  classic Buddhism often refers to the concept of yes and no. As the "Sutra of the Buddha " mentioned  :

"Hey Kaccana,  this world  mostly  points  to these two  extremes  : yes and no. This Kaccayana, who with  right knowledge  wisdom that as the feet of  the world set start , he  did not accept  to receive  the world  's no. This Kaccayana, who with  right knowledge  wisdom that as the feet of  world  annihilation , he  does not accept to receive  the world  is going. "9

The content and  meaning of the  passage has shown that  India is a people who favor metaphysical thinking, want to  find out what is  the nature of  this world  ? it  exists  like? Eternity or  destruction ? To say that the  world  is (eternity) is a  view ; To assume that  this world  is not ( annihilation ) is a  view . These two  perspectives  are often  conflicting  and  opposing,  arguing with one another, defaming one another. For these two  views, Buddha  will  not accept  to receive, that it is the two  extremes . Why ? Because  the world  does not have to have it or not, it  exists  with the  state of impermanence , the  changes  do not stop, because  the earth  thousands of  things which because  of conditions  together  that success, so the  essence  of the law is  impermanent . If each  component  of the  world  are  impermanent change , the  world  is not  can not  know the change; the world is  change  , there is no Minister  certain  to call it there, do not call it, because  the world  is  being  the general  state of  impermanence  of  all these  measures. To clarify  this meaning  , "The Mahaparinirvana Sutra"  explains :

"The law is not there nor not, because no minister  specified . Why ? Because (for example) due to the label, there is  material , there is light, there is mind , there  is mindfulness , so consciousness, this  consciousness occurs  not in consciousness, in matter, in light, in mind, in Not in the center, nor in the middle, so they neither have nor not. Because they are conditioned by  cause and effect  , so called, but they do not have  the nature , so called no. For  that reason  should call the dharma neither there nor not. "10

The method by  karmic  gathered that the so-called, but  the essence  of the  law do not  have the  nature , ie the  existence independent , so call it. If you think the law is true there is a  point of view  extreme ; vice versa if the law  of impermanence  that it is also an  extremist . Out of two  extremes :  accept  and  accept this, called  Middle Way . Thus, the concept of  Middle Path  here is defined as  not accepting  , nor  accepting  . 

The  first meaning  is not the  Middle Way

Apart from two  significant  middle way  has been mentioned at the 1 and 2. In a  classic  Buddhist  Mahayana  also mention  First means not  the  Middle Way . Related to  the meaning  of this, in "Mahaparinibbana Sutta"  explains :

"Buddha nature is 'First means no', First  means not  that is  wisdom . The so-called  NOT  is not no  no no no no. People find it just is not place also has  no no , (see method) has also recently often and  impermanence , suffering and medium optimism medium, both down just  selfless . Not all  beings ,  no matter  is  great Nirvana , even see  non-self  is also  mortal , fall falls called  Nirvana . Seeing all is not without seeing  none  is not called the  Middle Way . Even if all dharmas are not self,  they do not see the dhamma, which is not called the  Middle Way . Middle Way  that is  the Buddha nature ,  based on the  significance  of this, so know  the Buddha nature  is  constant  unchanging . Beings because of  ignorance  obscures , so do not see  the Buddha nature ; Thinh Van  Duyen  only see all the French are not, but do not see the law is  not real , see the dharmas are  not self,  but do not see the dhamma.   

"Mahaparinirvana" are  classics  of  Buddhism  Mahayana  (Mah-Yna) are  texts  have  views  of thought  often falls pure optimism . This sutra  defines the Middle  Way as the  first meaning ; First means  is  intellectual , as well as  the Buddha nature . Wisdom that  Buddhism  Mahayana  defined as a  kind location  intellectual perfections  (S. Pra-j-a-paramit), it is not  synonymous with  the concept of pa - a, is the  kind of place  knowledge by  distinguishing  which. People with  intellectual  (S. Pra-j-a-paramit) who see the true nature  of the legal capital by  Origination  that form, something so  interdependent  formed, what was known as  impermanent or not, they are  impermanent , not without Must be no. Thus, the law neither does not have. There are and are not only two  phenomena  of a  problem ,  accept  or  not  are  extremes ,  prejudices , the mind must see the same law as well as not, that see  true . Thus, if any person who sees the dharmas is  impermanent , is not, is selfless  without seeing the law as often, is  no no , the ego, he is no  intellectual , not see  First means no , do not see  the Buddha nature , not  law enforcement Middle Way . Conversely, anyone see the moderate approach  impermanent  medium often, just  selfless  just down, just do not fit in  any not  let him have  the intellectual uncivil , see  First means no  and see the  morality  of  law Middle  religion. 

4.  Dependent Origination  is the  Middle Way

Before  we  go into the analysis, we  explain  the meaning of 'Middle Path'. Here  firstly  we  need to pay attention, according to  historical  Buddhist India , systems  of thought  Prajna  of the  Buddhist  Mahayana  was  to appear  later  period  Buddhism Ministry dispatched . Therefore, in the  texts  of  Buddhism Mahayana  belonging  Prajna  Madhyamikas  highly  thought  not (§enyat) and critical  thought  organic (bhva). Here the concept of ownership that Buddhism  Mahayana  critique is advocated 'Tam  truly organic ,  approach to  the eternal' by sex  Notes Sarvastivadins  (SarvOestivOedin). Concept  brims  or not this, it is not the object but the  classic A jaw  or disprove Nikya  thought there's not  pagan , because this is the second stage of  history differently. Another point to note is that Chinese words sometimes make  us  confused. For example, from  Origination (S. prat'tya-samutpOeda, P. Paçcca-samuppda) is the theory  that  the Buddha  attained enlightenment  under  the Bodhi tree , which is sometimes translated as 'causality', while the sixth sense (sad-hetavah) of the four (catvārah pratyayāh)  property sets  are also loosely translated as 'causal'. Semantically 2 words are  intentionally  different, not  quite  the same, because  the legal Origination  anonymous  law , which developed into 12  predestined  as  doctrine  notes  about the process of  birth and death  of suffering, belongs to  psychology , The theory of causation is based on the law of dependent origination  , but the six-factor theory of four main determinants of the formation of  the material world . For example, the first item of "The Madhyamika" is the 'Quan  duong dunhu  ', with the contents of this part  Nagarjuna  refutes  the  karmic theory . However, the 22nd product, which has the  verse  : 'they  cause coast  law , fall invisible news ...', with the content that the reason that the  cause . Is the  idea  of these two products self-  contradictory . This contradiction  is due to the  word's confusion . Thus, the letter  of conditions  in the first product is  theoretically  6 4-coast of  Friends set , so  Nagarjuna  rejected, opposite from  predestined  in 22 minutes only for the theory of Dependent Origination . This is the point we  need to pay attention. The opposite of karmic conditionality in the 22nd article refers to the doctrine of Dependent Origination . This is the point we need to pay attention. The opposite of karmic conditionality in the 22nd article refers to the doctrine of  Dependent Origination . This is the point  we need to pay attention.

Returning to  the problem , in the "Mahaparinirvana Sutra" refers to  the meaning of  Dependent Origination  as the  Middle Way  as follows:

Buddhas  Bodhisattva  often  display  with the  Middle Way . Why ? Because the dharma neither has nor no, no certain generals  . Why ? Being born due to the conjugal eye, sharpness, light, mind and mind, so this mode is not only due to one eye or color ... but also, so  their nature  is not, not not. , Not in the middle. Due to  the conditions  should be called yes, they are not   so called nature. So the  Tathagata  says: The dhamma is neither nor no. "13

The content passages has led shows,  the Buddha  often  used reasonable  middle way  to use all the  problems  in life  every day, do not fall into any  attitude of  intolerance  , whether  compliance with  or  accept not , right or wrong ... because whether or not only a  phenomenon of  temporary , not the  essence , because the  essence  of the method is the  origination  of impermanence epidemic , this has not tomorrow, tomorrow no one has evidence to Assertive whether or not? Whoever decides whether or not to, must selfishly suffer, Because things  are changing. Sorrow about  planning  business failure, or suffering of loved ones lost their lives,  the cause  of it is probably not in addition to  asserting bigotry  around. Yes and no  is true , how is it  decided to  be right or wrong, to make a common denominator for  everyone , with this person is true but the other is wrong. As a person looking for sunshine, but the gardener looks forward to the rain. Who in them is right, is wrong? Today this disease  therapy  with this medication is right, but this medication late  become  dangerous (wrong),  if not  to that disease. Yes and no, it is hard to say, When the problem is  not  specific  clearly . Consequently, the wise man can not make a   general decision in  this case  . The main reason  of  the problem  of  all things  in this life, all due to the  cause and condition  , more the personality and charm of each  problem  is different, can not  solve  the problem in  a stereotypical way. this would  solve  the  problem  , had taken  issue  today  resolved  the  problems  of tomorrow . This is the reason  why the  teachings of Buddhism  Mahayana  often countered  attitude  obstinate , or grab  method  negative to explain  the problem . This is also the ethic in  which Nagarjuna  advocates Dependent  Origination  or the  Middle Way  . As the chanting  in 'Self-Sufficiency' in the " Great Thought  ", it says: Or take a negative approach to explainthe problem . This is also the ethic in which Nagarjuna advocates Dependent Origination or the Middle Way . As the chanting in 'Self-Sufficiency' in the " Great Thought ", it says: Or take anegative approach to  explain the problem . This is also the  ethic in which  Nagarjuna advocates  Dependent Origination or  theMiddle Way . As  the chanting in 'Self-Sufficiency' in the "  Great Thought ", it says:

法 因緣 生 是 法 性 空 空

　法 法 不 空 不 因緣 有 有

　鏡 鏡 非 鏡 亦非 面 面

　持 鏡 人 非 自 非 因 因

　有 亦非 無 亦復 非 有無 有無

　此 語 亦 不如是 名 道 中道 .14

If the method  of causation  ,

That Dharma is not,

If France is not not,

Not from  karmic conditions  .

For  example, in the mirror,

Not a scene, not a mirror,

Nor the mirror,

Not self, nor  inhuman ,

This word is not life,

So call the  Middle Way .

"Luan  Dai Tri  High" is the conclusion to the content  Bodhisattva Nagarjuna  explains  the thought  of Beijing  Prajna . According to Chinese Lu (呂澂) The  Prajna  is  sutras are  appearing  earliest  Buddhist  University thua15,  thought  of  the experience  of this is: 'Emptiness can illusory' (性空幻有). The so-  called  emptiness , because  the nature  of the  dharmas does not  have  the nature ,  however, the  concept of 'no' here is not synonymous; It has but  not true  but is 'false' (praj-apti),   

有為 法 法,

夢幻泡影 夢幻泡影,

露 亦如 電 電,

作 如是 觀 觀 .16

Circuit set  compounded law ,

As a  dream camera cell ,

As exposing herons like electricity.

Appears  as the market  .

Compounded  by  verse  mentions are taken by  the four elements form, the  existence  of them not solid, light still way away, like  dewdrops  on the tips of the grass, like sleep,  dream , like The bubbles in the river, like the stream of lightning  in the sky ... their  existence is short. Life  , too , there's the hundred year versus  time  extremely  endless  ! Life was  impermanent  was suffering, so that  issue mortgage lead  attachment, Not letting go  of  man makes  man  more miserable. Try asking  a problem  accept that stems from? Must have been from  ignorance , but  ignorance about? It is impossible to see  the nature of the dhamma which is  dependent origination , but  persistence  that is true. That is the reason  why in "The Argument" 'Four Food Restaurant'. He even stubbornly said yes. That is the reason why in "The Argument" 'Four Food Restaurant'. He even stubbornly said yes. That is the  reason why in "The Argument" 'Four Food Restaurant'.

Because  karmic  birth measures ,

I say capital is not,

It also  imitates the name ,

Also called  Meaning  .

All things in  the world  are due to  the combination  of  that. What is created by  the karmic means  , it does not have  the nature , because it has no  nature , so it is not; No, but it does not mean that there is no, but there is no truth, so there is only illusory or false. If the person  understands  the nature  of such  dharmas  , then  neither mortal  nor  attachment  will call it the  Middle Way . So, the content and meaning  of the concept of  the Middle Way is  built on the basis of  the doctrine  of dependent origination . Who see  moral  origination  he sees the law, anyone found to be legal, he is Buddha, who saw the Buddha he sees and lives with  the lives  of Middle Way , disapproval  has also not accept  no, no mortgage  often also refuse  passage . This is the meaning of the Principle of Dependent Origination  as the Middle Way . Anyone who sees the Dharma, then the Buddha, who sees the Buddha who sees and lives with the Middle Way life , neither accept nor accept , not accept nor accept the paragraph. This is the meaningof the Principle of Dependent Origination as the Middle Way . Anyone who sees the Dharma, then the Buddha, who sees the Buddha who sees and lives with the Middle Way life ,  neither accept nor  accept ,  not accept nor  accept the paragraph. This is  the meaning of  the Principle of Dependent Origination as the  Middle Way .

5. Lia  dualistic  is the  Middle Way

Actually  meaning  apart  dualistic  is  the middle way  has been mentioned above. But the concept of  dualistic  is what gives  meaning  extreme , bad, wrong, so people  practicing  right  away from  two  extremes  there to  be liberated . As the age of  lust and  practice  austerity ,  accepted there  and  accept not , usually and paragraph ... are two  extremes  to bring  properties  bad incorrect. However , here refers to  this binary concept  ,  It has a very specific meaning , to be  understood . For example, good and evil are two  extremes that  need  to be abandoned . Here, as is evil  acts  are not good, so we must give is correct, but why acts of charity also advised to abandon . This is the point that will be clarified in this section. Concerning  the meaning  apart dualistic this, we  see in "Argument Dai Tri  High," which he Nagarjuna mentioned: To do evil is not good behavior , so it must be removed is true, but why good behavior also advised to give up . This is the point that will be clarified in this section. Concerning the meaning apart dualistic this, we see in "Argument Dai Tri High," which he Nagarjuna mentioned: To do evil is not good behavior , so it must be removed is true, but why  good behavior also advised  to give up . This is the point that will be clarified in this section. Concerning the meaning apart  dualistic this,  we see in "Argument  Dai Tri High," which he  Nagarjuna mentioned:

"Falling is one side,  accepting selflessness  is also one side. To renounce  these two  attachments is called the Middle Way. "

Also in this comment,  Nagarjuna  went  on to  explain :

"Again,  ignorance  is one side ( extremism ), the  cessation of ignorance  is also an  extreme ; Bodhisattva  is a party, six  perfections  is a party; Buddha is one side,  Bodhi  is also one side; The Noble Eightfold Path  is the one, the  Noble Eightfold Path  is one side. Away from  these two is the  Middle Way , it is called the  Prajñā . "19

Or in the "Great Prajna Paramassa Sutra   " also mentioned:

"  Sariputta  ! Unreasonable  and 5 crime is  no cockroach  in  the realities  of no difference, no birth nor death, no go nor no, no human is no fruit, no good There is no evil either. "20

Passages  texts  has led shows  the meaning  of it is not like the kind of  bigotry  extreme  as in part 1, 2, 3.4 refers, are  obstinate both  extremes  are wrong,  wrong As  the life of enjoyment is  wrong ,  asceticism  is also  wrong , so to  abandon them,  to give up  these two  lifestyles  is called the  Middle Way . However , in the Mahayana sutras  to mention the kind of  intolerant  extremists brought  significant  other. As doing evil is an  extreme , but doing  good  is also  extreme ; Ignorance  is  extreme , the  end of ignorance  is also  extreme ; Bat  is a  radical , non-  Bat Nha  is also an  extremist , even  sentient beings  are  extremists ,  Buddhahood  is also an  extreme .... Executive immoral  is  bigotry is an  extremist , is strictly  logical , but why do  the good  back is also  intolerant  extremists  ? Then  what does  it mean ? Try asking,  Buddha  advises  us to  abandon the  evil acts  of kindness , efforts to  practice  in order to get rid  of ignorance , stock  Nirvana holy  fruit to do? Is  it  a contradiction  ? Actually there is no  contradiction  in these two teachings, because there is no right or wrong in the case of  problems posed lack  of specificity can,  such as  medicine  better than  drugs in Pharmacy, we thing have  functional  therapy  of diseases ranging drug called good or not, all  depends  on the  coordination  between the  doctor , patient and medication, if the  combination  is not good, well some drugs also  become  bad, harmful to  health . Also, When it comes to the question of the  duality  of the  treatment  of good and  evil , between right and wrong, between  beings  and Buddhas ... to determine the  absolute value  of either of these two  things  , it  is clear  That is unlikely to happen to the  Enlightened One . If  society  today  do not accept  getting a  doctor for a patient taking the wrong medicine, if  we  see  the Buddha  as a  doctor specializing in  therapeutic psychology , surely  he can not arbitrarily a  doctrine , a  method of therapy  cure for all  people . This is  the meaning  that  the Buddha  said:  

"... Bodhisattvas  are people with  profound wisdom  , can not  use the wrong method  to teach  beings . So when He  uttered the disciplines that are not  contrary to the radical  of the  beings  that, that is the  reason  why when he met the  Mahayana  then said  doctrine supreme , not talking  doctrine Single sensory  and Sravaka. Also; when objects meet the  unicorn  said  doctrineSingle sense , when met said Sravaka  doctrine  Sravaka ... "21     

So in  case  any  Buddha  comes, do  good works  is an  extreme , as  the evil  is also a  radical ,  disturbing  is the  extreme ,  Bodhi is  extreme ...? According to the article,  meaning  only  appear when  the Buddha  dealt with  the problem  observance of a Sravaka, (if standing on the  stance  Mahayana  and  Theravada )  or say  rather that those  ideological  liberal , Want to bring Buddhism  to  society  in  the ordinary life  of people. Views  this must have even the  Venerable anonymous  conservatives certainly  do not agree, that it is  job dangerous,  immoral , harmful to  Buddhism , is the  way  to go against the direction  of enlightenment  liberation  or  Nirvana . This is the  reason  why in  the Mahayana sutras  mentioned evil is  radical  improvement is also  extreme , Beings  are  extreme  Nirvana  is also an  extremist or  persistent . To clarify the  meaning  of this, here  we  can borrow  story  about the be22 of two  monks  wanted to cross the river ( wonderful shore ) in the 'Business for Education Snake' '(Alaggadupamasutttam) No. 22, "Business Central "episode 1.  the story  has it that there are two  monks  standing before the river  feel this side the river is not  safe , across the river  in peace and  happiness , so that one in two plants themselves take The leaves turn into rafts, Use it to swim to the other side , when it comes to him because of the rage of the raft, so he did not give  up  the raft to enjoy the life  of freedom  and  happiness , which he holds the raft, or Take it on the shoulder. This is the  attitude of the first person to the raft. You  brethren  second to do so in order to cross the river, but he did not because of the life considerate of the raft but by one way or the other to keep the raft, a  definitive person to give the raft right in line River, to live  free  and  liberate. Therefore in this business  the Buddha  said: "The Dharma must also leave the case is illegal ." It is this recitation in the "Diamond Vajrayana." Through this story, it suggests  we have  seen, the  monks firstly example for people to  Buddhism  monastic  retreat , he  achievement  are a few measures that, born complacency, or  feel see  too  happy  happy  in the  accomplishments , that is so self-sufficient, which led to  the case  with  the attitude  obstinate ,  refuse  to receive  advice  commandments teach other people, So he ignored the meaning  of enlightenment  and  liberation  in  Buddhism . This is the  reason  why  the Buddha declares : "Dharma also be discarded case is  illegal ." This verse criticizing those  attitudes  bigotry . In two  brethren  the  Buddha  praised you  , brethren  second and disagreed  attitude  obstinate position  monks  first. Meaning  that in the  scriptures  of  Buddhism  Mahayana  when it comes to evil is an  extreme , is also a good  extreme ; Mesmerizing is an  extreme , enlightenment is also an extreme .... it is also mentioned in the  same  case. Out of  this case , saying good is extremes , Nirvana , enlightenment ... is the extreme  , what it is watching , lost in the path . Mesmerizing is an extreme , enlightenment is also an extreme .... it is also mentioned in the same case. Out of this case , saying good is extremes , Nirvana , enlightenment ... is the extreme , what it is watching , lost in the path . Mesmerizing is an extreme , enlightenment is also an  extreme .... it is also mentioned in  thesame case. Out  of this case , saying good is  extremes ,  Nirvana,  enlightenment ... is  the extreme , what it is  watching , lost in  the path .

Here, because the  benefits  of  practicing  Buddhism , I would like to present a few  comments identifiable  individual . When  mentioning the Dharma  must also leave the case is  illegal , in  case  he  reached  the  high position , like the person across  the river to talk to leave the boat or not to leave the boat, this river people can not  discuss  problems  , which  need to  discuss  how to create a boat, find the boat, grabbed the boat, could not  discuss  abandon the boat, Where is the boat abandoned? If you can not cross the other side  and talk to the boat, then he   can not cross  the other side forever . Likewise, for a newcomer,  the basic teaching  that a newcomer must understand, he or she intentionally or  unwittingly refuses to learn, one way or another avoids; opposite want to master nesting, said the higher sentence, the  current  behavior odd,  deliberately denote attitude detachment,  freedom of self in order to  aim to satisfy indulgence their expectations. When people born skeptics  to question the  answer style crawl bending as eel,  deliberately  avoiding  the issue ,  concealed by  speech  utterances beyond Buddha super team, makes the listener does not know what is right, what Is wrong, where is good, where is evil. Whether people like that way, the way  of education  by  words  or body  teachers like  so  totally not true  spirit of  the Buddha, it is not only beneficial to the speaker, the listener, but also harmful is that other, The more dangerous it  becomes,  the   bad images , Obstructing the path of spreading  Buddhism ,  especially people  and  society today. Self-examination  of  yourself,  the  first of four results have not proven that the Buddha talk out of the Buddha? This is the  problem  of people  Buddhists we  should pay attention and understand  the problem . If each  of us understand  and  implement  proper  spiritual education  of  the Buddha  , each of the  Buddhists  is a brick  firm built Dharma , Buddhism  does not need any exhortations or slogans calling for  protection of the Dhamma , but  the Dhamma  still shine in  the world , and  the world of the Ashrama propagate Buddhism , each of Buddhists we are a you preachers  preeminent am honored Dharma . By contrast, we  are together destroying Buddhism  rather than propagate Buddhism . and the world of the Ashrama propagate Buddhism , each of Buddhists we are a preacher preeminent am honored Dharma . By contrast, we are together destroyingBuddhism rather than propagate Buddhism . and the world of the  Ashrama propagate Buddhism , each of  Buddhists we are a  preacher preeminent am  honored Dharma . By contrast,  we are together  destroying Buddhism rather than  propagate Buddhism.             

In short , if in  Theravada  mention two  extremes are the two  areas  are bad, not good, as the visiting Wild enjoy  lust  and  practice hard  almond, then in  Buddhism  Mahayana  mention two  extreme  nature  obstinate  self-  introspective . It is  an attempt to  accept  the  right or wrong form, whether good or  evil  , is derived  from the mind  fixed , so it belongs  to ignorance is  not  intellectual . As Zen master  Suzuki said: It was handcuffs, whether it is made of iron or gold, is cuffs, can not be said to handcuffed gold than iron handcuffs. Therefore, the wise see the  nature  and function  of the cuffs, so not for taking gold that took the handcuffs handcuffed  her. Who did not have the form of  good and evil  as obstacles , so he is freed , the liberation  is known to abandon  the two extremes  and live in the spirit of the Middle Way. This is the meaning  apart dualistic  is the Middle Way . The handcuffs, whether made of iron or gold, are handcuffed, can not be handcuffed gold than iron handcuffs. Therefore, the wise see the nature and function of the cuffs, so not for taking gold that took the handcuffs handcuffed her. Who did not have the form of good and evil as obstacles , so he is freed , the liberation is known to abandon the two extremes and live in the spirit of the Middle Way . This is the meaning apart dualistic is the Middle Way . The handcuffs, whether made of iron or gold, are handcuffed, can not be handcuffed gold than iron handcuffs. Therefore, the wise see the nature and function of the cuffs, so not for taking gold that took the handcuffs handcuffed her. Who did not have the form of good and evil as obstacles , so he is freed , the liberation is known to abandon the two extremes and live in the spirit of the Middle Way . This is the meaning apart dualistic is the Middle Way . Can not say yellow cuff than iron handcuffs. Therefore, the wise see the natureand function of the cuffs, so not for taking gold that took the handcuffs handcuffed her. Who did not have the form of good and evil as obstacles , so he is freed , the liberation is known to abandon the two extremes and live in the spirit of the Middle Way . This is the meaning apart dualistic is the Middle Way . Can not say yellow cuff than iron handcuffs. Therefore, the wise see the natureand  function of the cuffs, so not for taking gold that took the handcuffs  handcuffed her. Who did not have the form of good and evil as obstacles , so he is freed , the liberation is known to abandon the two extremes and live in the spirit of the Middle Way . This is the meaning apart dualistic is the Middle Way . so not because taking gold that took the handcuffs handcuffed her. Who did not have the form of good and evil as obstacles , so he is freed, the liberation is known to abandon the two extremes and live in the spirit of the Middle Way . This is the meaning apart dualistic is the Middle Way . so not because taking gold that took the handcuffs handcuffed her. Who did not have the  form of good and evil as  obstacles , so he  is freed , the  liberation is known to abandon the two extremes and live in the spirit of the Middle Way . This is the meaning apart dualistic is the Middle Way . The liberator is a man who renounces two extremes and lives in theMiddle Way . This is the meaning apart dualistic is the Middle Way. The liberator is a man who  renounces two  extremes and lives in  the Middle Way . This is  the meaning apart  dualistic is the  Middle Way .

6.  Conclusion

The Middle Way  is a   very important ideology in  Buddhism . We are known for  thinking  this through  Buddhism  Mahayana , is he  Nagarjuna  uphold the "Madhyamika". However ,  ideological doctrine  Middle Way does not have to wait until  Nagarjuna  new  appearance , it already  appears  quite early by  experienced practice  of the  Buddha . In the process of development of the  Buddhist  teachings  are also developing in that direction.  

If  Theravada  mentioned substrate  doctrine  Middle Way  refers to the  separation from  the two  lifestyles  orgies  of enjoyment  of desire , and  practice  mortification  austerity , or avoid the two  extremes  that  the world  is permanent or  cessation , then  Buddhism  Mahayana  refers to the angle of  bigotry  on  perception ,  perspective  belongs to  psychology . If that drink, speak  no truth  that  acts  immoral , They need to be  discarded , but when they need alcohol to cure illnesses, or  if  they are lied to help  sentient beings , they can not  keep the  drink or lie, but  need to  drink alcohol to cure illness. And  to lie to  save  sentient beings ,  that behavior  is  consistent  with  the  precepts . In  case this does not drink, does not lie is  the problem collateral. Because to break  the  cliché of the ignorant people   so the Buddha said: Negativity  is an  extremist  but goodness is also an  extreme , leaving these two  extremes  the  Middle Way . This is  the meaning  Middle Way  of  Buddhism  Mahayana .

In addition , there is also  the meaning of Dependent Origination as the  Middle Way  or  First Meaning  is not the  Middle Way . Actually,  meaning  it is no different with two  meanings Middle Way  in  Theravada  and  Mahayana , but the two concepts emphasized  in the  perception  of  the nature  of the two extremes . For example, when  we do  not know  the nature  of the dhamma is due  to harmony  , so we  can produce  bigotry  is whether or not, or often or paragraphs, so  students suffer  pain when they change, no true  opinion  of yourself. On the contrary, if we  have seen  the nature  of things as  dependent origination , they are not  true , yes or no, so they do  not accept  nor  accept  . This  disobedience  is called the  Middle Way , which is also called the  First Meaning . END=NAM MO CAKYA MOUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.13/6/2017.
