Description
The Middle Way has massive implications for every area of thought and practice. It is universal because it depends on human structure and functions. It is synthetic in nature, implying that our understanding of its application in each area of experience will feed into the others. For Buddhists, an emphasis on the Middle Way in interpreting their tradition can make it more universally adequate.
