THE MIDDLE WAY INITIATIVE
The Middle Way Initiative is a non-profit Buddhist organization that supports and encourages spirited conversation around the Buddha’s most essential teachings.
During this weekend Elizabeth will guide us through the annual MSB Mahayana Essentials series providing discourse, guided meditations, and lively discussion. She will use the inspiring story of Avalokiteshvara as a basis for personalizing and digging deeper into the methods, vision and liberating insight of the bodhisattva path.

At 7:15 am on August 7th, 1974, 1,300 feet above a gathering crowd, French high wire artist, Philip Petit, renowned for his unauthorized public stunts, stepped onto a 131-foot wire rigged between the twin towers of New York City's World Trade Center. In this episode, Elizabeth recalls Petit 's "impossible" display of human courage and confidence as an analogy for faith, why we need to cultivate it, what it is, and how it works.
Our Middle Way Initiative Donor Campaign runs through December 31, 2023. All donors who have given a total of $108 USD or more during 2023 will be entered in a random drawing for an archival matte paper print of Kongtrul Rinpoche’s oil painting “Light Coming Through.”
