ABSTRACT

This chapter will compare the Buddhist Middle Path with Aristotle's Golden Mean and the Confucian Doctrine of the Middle. It attempts to derive a secular concept of the middle path specifically pertinent to promote the practice of Mindful journalism. The chapter first define the Buddhist meaning of the Middle Path and compare it with similar concepts advocated by other ancient philosophers in China and Greece. Second, it point out the most important paths of the magga that aspiring mindful journalists must follow in a secular practicing environment. Finally, the chapter highlights how the kalyana-mitta (wise advisors) could apply the techniques implicit in the magga to initiate the unique genre of Mindful journalism. Mindful journalism would stay clear of the extremes by following the Buddhist magga and the related concepts of the Aristotelian Golden Mean and the Confucian Doctrine of the Mean. However, it is not a religious journalism because it uses Buddha's phenomenology, not religionized Buddhism, as its backbone.
