팔불중도(八不中道) The Middle Way of the Eight Negations

不生亦不滅 不常亦不斷 (불생역불멸 불상역부단) Neither arising nor ceasing; neither eternal nor impermanent.

不一亦不異 不來亦不出 (불일역불이 불래역불출) Neither identical nor different; neither coming nor going.

中道 Middle Way means "avoiding two opposites." It also means that the two opposites are the same. It should not be understood as the middle of two opposites.
