Buddhism IS the middle path. When it was started, Siddhartha only saw extremes around him - extreme indulgence or extreme restraint. He didn't think extreme indulgence was the way to end suffering, and when he tried extreme restraint he became so thin from not eating that his mind couldn't function properly. So he started a new way of moderation, and became The Buddha.
i thought that it was the right path or something. but yes, they do believe that living their life and leaving behinde good karma would then lead into reincarnation or nirvana.
Answer:
The Middle path is simply not going to one extreme or the other in pursuit of enlightenment. Buddha initially didn't understand this. He started as a rich person with everything he wanted and still suffered, then became an acetic who starved himself and found no answer. he then found the middle way of eating enough, sleeping enough etc.
The route to Nirvana or enlightenment is the Eightfold Path. These are simple suggestions (not must dos) that lead a person to a skillful approach to life. It suggests that you not lie, cheat, steal, get drunk, be lustful and so on.
The middle path in Buddhism is the path of practice towards enlightenment where the extremes of indulgence in pleasure and indulgence in pain are both not sought after rather a middle approach between the two. The path which is sought after is the noble eightfold path.
yes if you stick to the middle path whole heartdly. but is harder than it seems. it means you will never need more money. you will never need more food. you wont symphatize a person until you are pampering them but you wont be selfish to refuse helping them. you wont intendly kill an animal for your needs but you will not attempt to force others in doing it. you will not be greedy in accepting others offer but you would not waste any offer (specifically food). you will not overwork your disciple so they can be good but you will also not let them be undisicpline in their actions. you will not force and brainwash people join or understand buddhism but you will do your best and only your best (no forcing them to witnes or learn if they dont want to) to make them understand. in other words, whatever you do must be neutral, unbiased to all sides, not greedy, do not overdone it nor do it less than suppose to. always in the middle then you can achieve nirvana.
The Middle Path is only the description of avoiding the extremes of luxury and asceticism in your daily life. Buddha tried both in his search for enlightenment . The Middle Path offers no clear guide to proper behavior.
He eventually determined that only by following the Eightfold Path could you become enlightened.
