The...higher or lower issues, detachment is the key. Then there are all the problems and all the issues to solve and all the things to do, but no attachment... that's the buddha's definition of enlightenment - end of suffering.<BR/><BR/>-----------<BR/><BR/><I><BR/>I love the Buddha's simple definition of enlightenment as "the end of suffering." There is nothing superhuman in that, is there? Of course, as a definition, it is incomplete. It only tells you what enlightenment is not: no suffering. But what's left when there is no more suffering? The Buddha is silent on that, and his silence implies that you'll have to find out for yourself. He uses a negative definition so that the mind cannot make it into something to believe in or into a superhuman accomplishment, a goal that is impossible for you to attain. Despite this precaution, the majority of Buddhists still believe that enlightenment is for the Buddha, not for them, at least not in this lifetime. </I><BR/><BR/>~ <A HREF="http://www.thinkingpeace.com/Lib/lib078.html" REL="nofollow">power of now - by eckhart tolle</A><BR/><BR/>-----------Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27830473.post-39145636590066478292007-03-05T10:07:00.000-08:002007-03-05T10:07:00.000-08:00hey astro...thanks for dropping a comment in my bl...hey astro...thanks for dropping a comment in my blog...the story is partly real...and lil bit of fantasy...just for masala :)Vivekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172021779278800087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27830473.post-39003942280534945332007-03-02T20:02:00.000-08:002007-03-02T20:02:00.000-08:00I suspect enlightement teaches you that the pursui...I suspect enlightement teaches you that the pursuit of finding the meaning of life is in the very act of living it!<BR/><BR/>As you rightly said an enlightened soul instead of bugged with mundane isses will be bugged with higher issues like humanity which is again another kind of suffering. How different is it or better from any other kind of suffering?. I guess there is no escape from the noise ever!Sharathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442528156399308250noreply@blogger.com
