Monkey Magic The Middle Path and Compassion

The Middle Way is central to the Buddhist teachings. Being aware that our physical reality is an illusion projected by our minds ought not to interfere with our compassion for one another, ie even though its only happening in a dream, we must still honor the other in their path to obtaining Buddhahood (Enlightenment), even though in time, other travellers may be progressively slower and others more advanced, the middle path reminds us not to take an extreme stance on our path to enlightenment.
