Taking the middle way: Noble eightfold path for the daily life..

Middle way is the path to happiness. The pursuit of happiness begins with moderation. 

We can’t either be overly enthusiastic about what we have or sad about what we haven’t.

It’s all about satisfying with simple things and things we have while doing our best to live the life we expect.

This is the second post of a series of posts which I started a week ago. Click here to read the first post.

Even this eightfold path idea roots from a complex philosophy, we can simplify and adjust it for our daily life. 

A Religion ; to Discern or to Follow.?

We as kids learnt lots of societal norms good and bad under the influence of a religion. We evaluated the heaven and hell theory to choose the right thing to do.

When growing up as adults we seek the root of a religion, the theories and the ultimate beyond.

Every religion leads to a moderation. The philosophy every religion based on is “moderation”. 

During Christmas we share gifts with the poor, Ramadan ends with gift giving to the less fortunate. That's because we want to share the happiness as well as the wealth under the spirit of the religion.

In Buddhism, the path which leads to the ultimate nirvana is moderation.
