I find many Buddhist meditation practices have begun to integrate into my day to day life in a way that leads very much to a better day to day life. There’s the extremes of any practice that work for some, but consistent practice has transformed my very engaged life
I haven’t done many stoic practices yet but I’m very curious. I’ve read some William Irvine which caught my attention. Do you have a recommended starting point?
Well, Budha take the exreme route from lavish life to extreme poverty. But in the end, he abandoned those two extremes way of life and choose middle way. This is how he achieved enlightnment. And many lay people( not monks) also achieve enlightment by following the middle way. So it is not true that to gain enlightment in Buddhism you have to become a monk.
