Unraveling the subtle processes that condition our thinking and experience, Maitreya's teaching reveals a powerful path of compassionate vision and spiritual transformation.

Middle Beyond Extremes offers a translation of the Buddhist text Distinguishing the Middle from Extremes (Madhyāntavibhāga), one of the Five Maitreya Teachings. Maitreya's teachings provide a path to spiritual transformation by exploring how our thoughts and experiences are shaped. The text uses the principle of the three natures to differentiate between how things appear and their true nature. The book also includes commentaries from Tibetan masters Khenpo Shenga and Ju Mipham, adding depth to the understanding of this profound work.

AUTHORS
KHENPO SHENGA (1871–1927) contributed tremendously to the nonsectarian Rimé movement in Tibet. His commentaries on the classic Indian Buddhist treatises have become the core curriculum in numerous monastic colleges throughout Tibet and South Asia.

JU MIPHAM (1846–1912) displayed a universal genius as he wrote on all aspects of Buddhist theory and practice, as well as on the traditional sciences. He is one of the most influential figures to come out of the Tibetan tradition in recent centuries.
