Ajahn Brahm elaborates on one of the pillars of Buddhism: The Middle Way, pointing out that it is very easy to wander off on a path of too much harshness to your body and mind (asceticism) or too much indulgence. Ajahn starts off by reflecting upon his time as a young western monk in Thailand.

Ajahn Brahm is not the only person trained in physics who makes terrible word jokes (I have a reputation), but he is one of the wisest people I know. Listening to him always makes me feel better, but also function better.
