The story of the Buddha continued - The Middle Path

After experiencing both extremes of life, from gluttonous attachment to pleasure to radical rejection of all things pleasant, from aversion to discomfort to attachment to pain. Suddenly the Buddha (then Sid) could see that he needed to find some balance, he needed to find a middle path.

He began to see that a key ingredient in his practice had been missing: it was simple mindfulness. He then began to practice an investigative present-time awareness, seeing the process of the mind and body more and more clearly.
