Majjhimā Paṭipadā

MUJ-jhi-maa pa-ti-PA-daa（麻機馬巴帝巴達）

【一句話】

中道：唔係「中間妥協」，而係避開縱慾同苦行兩個死胡同，行返一條真正通往覺醒嘅路。

【生活例子】

好似拉結他弦：太鬆彈唔到聲，太緊會斷。修行都係——淨係放縱享樂會沉溺，淨係硬啃自虐會枯竭。中道就係嗰條「啱啱好、行得通」嘅弦。

【佛陀點講】

Ete kho, bhikkhave, ubho ante anupagamma majjhimā paṭipadā tathāgatena abhisambuddhā cakkhukaraṇī ñāṇakaraṇī upasamāya abhiññāya sambodhāya nibbānāya saṁvattati.
比丘們！不趣向這兩個極端後，如來以中道現正覺，它引生眼、引生智，導向寂靜、證智、正覺、涅槃。
Avoiding both these extremes, the Realized One woke up by understanding the middle way of practice, which gives vision and knowledge, and leads to peace, insight, awakening, and extinguishment.
