the middle way

the middle path opens the eyes, produces knowledge, and leads to peace,
insight and enlightenment.
BUDDHA
Two monks were arguing over a philosophical question as their teacher passed by. they stopped him and asked him to settle their disagreement. the first monk explained his understanding, to which their teacher replied."you're right." the second monk protested, and made his argument, which was the complete opposite of what the first monk said. the teacher then answered the second monk, saying,"you 're right." the third monk who had been  listening asked in frustration," but, master, you tell both these monks that they are right, when their explanations are contradictory and couldn't possibly both be correct." the teacher replied,"you' re right."
