Summary

The middle view is a view that is neither of two opposed views. Gautama Buddha said not eternal, not cut off, but in the middle, and asked whether existence or non-existence is the Middle Way, he said it is neither existence nor non-existence. Buddhism denies both idealistic and materialistic belief, and Mike says that Master Dogen wants to suggest another view, outside of science and also outside of religion, based on real experience in the present.
