- THE CONTEMPLATIVE FOUNDATION - . [The Student pt.7 of 7] . In summary: All students are required to apply the Buddha's middle path in their life, that is, in their ethical conduct. This means avoiding the two extreme modes of living: uncontrolled sensuality and self-abnegation. . In their metaphysical orientation it means steering clear if the two conflicting views of reality: the absolute substance (or self) and materialistic nihilism. . Im terms of meditation the middle path means elimination of the two extreme defects: dullness and sensory incitement. . #Buddha #Buddhism #Buddhist #Dharma #meditation #meditator #Knowledge #wisdom #Enlightenment #Ego #Suffering #Spiritual #goodvibrations #goodevening #sunday #positvevibes #middleway #om #namaste #yogalife #photography #art #loveandlight #truth #faith #Mastery #wellness #blogger #happiness https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs3ZFzSH_BB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=auqp4qkw3yll
