The Dalai Lama, a convinced adept of the middle way, keeps
telling us to distrust extreme positions. He wonders if Western
thought, so greedy for certitude, balanced between
classical dualism
and
contemporary confusion,
doesn't tend to neglect "the gray zone," that middle territory where
the mind is part of things.
