The Buddha is A Shower of the Way Only

Although nirvana does exist and the way to it exists and I, an adviser, also exist, some of my followers will attain the unchanging goal but others will not. There is nothing I can do in this matter. All I can be is a shower of the way. - The Buddha

According to what the Buddha said in the above quote, not all Buddhists will attain spiritual awakening or even nirvana.

Yet this is no reason to give up the Middle Path out of fear that one will never become awakened.

For the active meditation taught by a venerable Buddhist master is useful to reduce stress.

In reducing stress, the Buddhist is able to focus on what needs to be done in daily living.

Indeed, the Buddhadharma is for the Buddhist to practise equinamity towards others, to look beyond another person's limitations, and to respect all people as Bodhisattvas.

So, yes! The Buddha is a shower of the way of the Middle Path of moderation.
