The Middle Way in Buddha Dharma, a path of moderation free from extremes, can be understood in two ways:

conduct – how one lives, andview – one's philosophical outlook.

In terms of conduct, Buddha Shakyamuni began life as Prince Siddharth, a crown prince enjoying sensory indulgence, through which he eventually realised that all his pleasures could not bring him satisfaction. Turning his back on worldly life, he then engaged in the severe ascetic practices prevalent at the time among spiritual seekers, but even after six years of tireless ascetic struggle including severe fasting, these practices failed to bring him to liberation. Again, satisfaction and peace were elusive.

Only under the bodhi tree here in Bodhgaya, having abandoned severe asceticism and taken healthy nourishment, after a night of profound meditative concentration on the bare nature of phenomena, did he achieve enlightenment.

Through concentration combined with insight, he attained yogic direct perception of ultimate reality, a view free from the philosophical extremes of grasping at permanence (the dissatisfied mind's exaggerated view of inherent, true existence) but also free from nihilism (an exaggerated negation of even the dependent mode in which phenomena appear and function).

Lord Buddha's realisation of the two levels of truth – dependent arising and emptiness – constitutes the Buddha's Middle Way view.

In this course, Charok Rinpoche will guide us to avoid unhealthy extremes and gain freedom of mind inspired by the path of Shakyamuni Buddha himself.

Format of the course will incorporate:

Dharma teachings, review / question and answer sessions, and guided meditations.



About the teacher:

Charok Lama, officially known as Ngawang Rigdzin Gyatso Rinpoche, was born in 1995 in the Solu Khumbu region of Nepal and, at the age of two, was recognised as the reincarnation of Kusho Mangden, one of the most highly revered Nyingma yogis from the area. At the age of eight, Charok Lama moved to Sera Je Monastery in southern India to pursue a Geshe degree.

Rinpoche has become known for his wisdom, compassion, and dedication to the teachings of the Buddha. His humility, insight, and compassion are experienced through his teachings that are not just the product of study in books but of deep personal experience and reflection.
