Buddha - the middle way

One of the teachings of Buddha is the "middle way!"
This essential understanding of life is to find perfection in the All that Is. By believing in your life and the perfection of the soul, the world and everything you become focussed on the Now and the essence of the moment. This focus on being grounded in the now is essential to finding the Middle Way.
Some talk of good, some of evil, however to find the place inbetween the worlds where all is perfect is to find the Middle Way. The whole point is find your own personal viewpoint, the place where you see your world from, a personal thing is perception. This way of looking at things is to appreciate the inherent perception of life beyond duality, beyond war, beyond prejudice, beyond....
This place of peace is found in Our hearts and minds naturally and will always be there will always be so. Once you have found your own personal way of seeing the world, once you have appreciated your own heart for life you can see beyond into the world of Nirvana. This is to find the Middle Way.

How we venture through life is from a personal perspective and the more we become centred in our hearts and the more life gives us joy the greater the light of our world.
Give and receive in abundance.
As we do unto others so shall life be for us.
"What goes around comes around!"
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
All these help us to understand the Universal Law of Karma!
Karmic ties to our family, to the past all affect our present and our future. There are chants to break negative Karma such as;

Om Vajrasattva Samaya
Manu Palaya
Vajrasattva Deno Pa Tita
Dido May Bhava
Suto Kayo May Bhava
Supo Kayo May Bhava
Anu Rakto May Bhava
Sarva Siddhi May Prayatsa
Sarva Karma Su Tsa May
Tsittam Shriyam Kuru Hum
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ho Bhagavan
Sarva Tathagata Vajra Ma May Mun Tsa
Vajra Bhava Maha Samaya Sattva Ah Hum Pey

This mantra taken from a book by Lillian Too called "Mantras and mudras" is related to the Buddha of Purification Vajrasattva. Keep this Buddha in mind when you chant for your karma to be purified.  the chant should be made 28 mantras.

There is a shortened version which you should chant 108 times;
Om Vajrasattva Hum
