The Middle Way - Buddhist Teaching

Perennial Habits Course (Part X)

Greetings Readers!

Today’s meditation is Part X of our Perennial Habits course. Previously we discussed: The Wisdom of Being Grateful, The Psychology of Behavior Change, How to See the World — Like a Sage, A Simple, But Not Easy Stoic Exercise, and other topics. The next virtual meetup is on The Art (and Wisdom) of Contemplative Practices. It’s scheduled for Wednesday, May 24th (at 7:00 pm EST); you can register here. For our final meetup of the course, I’ll be joined by Dr. Brian Russell (author of Centering Prayer and previous podcast guest) to discuss the wisdom of integrating stillness practices in daily life.

The Middle Way — Buddhist Teaching

As discussed in The Teachings of the Buddha, The word Buddha means “one who is awake.” The Buddha’s real name is actually Siddhartha Gautama. The Buddha was born a prince in an ancient kingdom of northern India. Although, as a youth, he was protected by his father in beautiful palaces, as he grew older, the Buddha encountered what we must all face: “the inevitable sorrows of life.”
