The Middle Way offers an insightful discussion of Buddhist philosophy and its relation to personal experience. Written by the Dalai Lama, this book presents a comprehensive explanation of the foundational teachings of the Mahayana tradition, exploring concepts such as emptiness and interdependency. Through teachings based on the works of two revered figures in Buddhism, the book presents a clear explanation of how to put ethical discipline, wisdom, and compassion into practice, urging readers to engage in careful analysis and seek the reasons behind their beliefs.

En este sencillo aunque importante volumen, Stephen Batchelor nos recuerda que Buda no fue un mistico que afirmaba tener conocimientos privilegiados y esotericos del universo, sino que era un hombre que nos reto a comprender la naturaleza de la angustia, a deshacernos de sus origenes y a llevar un tipo de vida que esta disponible para todos nosotros. Lo que enseno Buda, nos dice Batchelor, no es algo en lo que creer, sino algo que hacer. Y tal como expone clara y convincentemente, es una practica que, independientemente de nuestra educacion o creencias, podemos adoptar dia a dia en el camino hacia el despertar.
