Middle Way is the official app of the Middle Way Soto Zen Community (MSZC), a network of people who practice and study Soto Zen Buddhism in everyday life. Its purpose is to offer a space for encounter and support on the path of awakening, integrating meditation, reflection, and compassionate action into every aspect of existence.
Through this app, you can access resources, activities, and tools that will help you cultivate a consistent, simple, and profound practice. Middle Way is not just a meditation app: it is a vibrant community where teaching and practice intertwine in daily experience.

🪷 A practice for everyday life
Soto Zen Buddhism teaches that enlightenment is not separate from the life we already live. Every gesture, breath, and encounter is an opportunity to awaken. At Middle Way, we understand practice as inseparable from daily existence: working, caring, listening, walking, or simply being present are expressions of the path.
The community promotes an accessible and contemporary practice, faithful to tradition but rooted in the present. Here there are no dogmas or imposed beliefs: only the commitment to see clearly, open the heart, and live with mindfulness, compassion, and wisdom.
🙏 An open and pluralistic community
The CSZCM brings together people from different places and life paths who share the same intention: to live consciously and contribute to the common good. Practicing in community reminds us that we do not walk alone. Each person contributes their experience, energy, and unique vision to this shared path.
Camino Medio does not seek followers, but rather fellow practitioners. The app is a bridge between the different dojos and local groups, a space for connection among those who practice zazen in Alicante, Murcia, Alcoy, Elche, and other locations within the Camino Medio sangha network.
🔔 Living awake in an interdependent world
We live in an age of distraction, haste, and disconnection. The practice of zazen, study, and community life invite us to reclaim presence and inner clarity. Camino Medio offers a carefully curated, distraction-free digital environment that helps you remember what's essential: to stop, breathe, and fully inhabit this moment.
💠 Our Inspiration
The Camino Medio Soto Zen Community is inspired by the teachings of Dogen Zenji and Keizan Jokin and nourished by the living tradition of Soto Zen Buddhism. Following the spirit of Master Taisen Deshimaru and the generations who continued his legacy, we promote a direct, unpretentious practice centered on the experience of the here and now.
Camino Medio is also a project committed to ethics, sustainability, and social responsibility. We understand the practice of Dharma as a way of caring for life in all its manifestations.
