The Middle Path

Buddhism

Meditation

Not too tight, not too loose

Once the Buddha asked a musician how he tuned his instrument before playing. The musician said “If I tune the strings too tight they break. If I tune them too loose, no sound will come out. So not too tight and not too loose works best” To which the Buddha replied “This is how you should hold your mind in meditation”.

  • If I’m not spending time with people, enjoying myself, working on other things, will I be able to sustain working on anything at all?
  • Finding that balance and reminding yourself that it’s ok.
