The Middle Way or Middle Path, in Buddhism, crystallizes the Buddha's Nirvana bound path of moderation away from the extremes of sensual indulgence and self-mortification and toward the practice of wisdom, morality and mental cultivation.
I keep Middle Way in mind and always follow on that way. Whenever I do something, I tried to follow the Noble Eightfold path and nothing else, namely: right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness and right concentration.
All in all, I just do something good, which I think it is right thing to do… Even I couldn’t do it best, but I could do better.
I can say that I believe in Buddha, I meant Buddha’s thought “Do good, you will get good thing in return". This thought has profoundly affected me since I was little. My grandma respects Buddha with all her heart and she always kept telling about doing good thing and often came up with Buddha's stories. Moreover, she has a lot of Buddha books and I usually slept next to her and repeatedly read all those stories everyday.
Along with what I've done, all I hope for my life is just to have good thing happen to me, my family and my friends. I would love to live peacefully in my generous and relaxing world. I deeply believe that doing good deeds will make you feel good, no matter how it is, it’s enough for you to feel your peace in mind is worth more than enough. Everything is about feeling good.
My dream is just to live in stable and peaceful life of virtue. I know that no other life will live as happy ever after like in children fairytale, but at least I wish I could live my life with happiness more than suffering...
