The Middle Way / 中道 / Jalan Tengah is a free, independent Buddhist education and creative project operated by Rain Lee Lin Jun, also known as Rain Lee. It continues the original attribution “CSR by rainleelj.com”. Here, CSR describes the creator’s public-benefit educational initiative; it is not a claim of registered charity status.
What you will find
Buddhist foundations, reflections on ordinary life, a 63-poster collection, visual guides and music. The project is rooted in Malaysia and welcomes readers internationally, including people who are curious, uncertain or returning to learning. You do not need to adopt a religious identity to read.
Across traditions
The publication aims to explain rather than rank Buddhist traditions. Shared foundations and important differences are both identified. References to an institution do not imply its endorsement. This website is not presented as an official project of Ti-Ratana, Monash University or any other organisation.
Authorship and AI assistance
Rain Lee Lin Jun is the creator and operator. The October 2026 edition was developed with ChatGPT assistance for writing, translation, illustration and code, drawing on the recovered project material and linked research. It does not claim review by a monastic, scholar, clinician or lawyer. Examples are illustrative unless explicitly identified otherwise. Song narrators and imagined scenes should not be read as the creator’s biography.
