What is "enlightenment"?

Some readers have asked me what "enlightenment" is, and "enlightenment" means "seeing yourself clearly", that is, returning to my true self.

"See yourself clearly" is a simple sentence, but it is the most difficult thing to do in one's life. Do you think you are the real you in the mirror? Without considerable chance and understanding, it is difficult for people to look back at themselves in this life and say that Buddhism only crosses "fate", and this "fate" is a person with high understanding.

When a person is enlightened and life has just begun, he will embark on a normal life path and be handy in life choices again and again. Luck and other people's opinions will not affect his life, but sobriety, wisdom and courage will take over all his life choices. This kind of "person who knows what he wants". There are only a few such people in this world.

However, 99% of the people in this world are spinning in an "extraordinary way". One of the characteristics of these people's lives is that they experience the same and similar pains and tribulations again and again in their own lives. Because they can't see clearly the way they should go in life, they make wrong choices again and again, leading to chaos in their lives and falling into an "infinite cycle" again and again. Therefore, a person is "enlightened"

There are four ways of enlightenment: internal breaking, external breaking, practice and enlightenment.

"Broken inside" means that when a person lives inside and the last straw is taken away, life will wipe out his last glimmer of hope and make life worse than death. At the moment of life struggle, he will see the whole truth of "humanity", "life" and "life" and "himself" at the same time. This is the opportunity of "enlightenment". If he insists, life will. "

"External destruction" means that when he was struggling with serious illness and dying, he finally saw the truth of "life" and the "impermanence" of the world when he faced death directly. He knows that this life with only one life is so precious, and he knows that the happiness he should pursue is not how happy he is, but how to avoid pain as much as possible. From then on, he was indifferent to everything in life. There will be no more "negative emotions" and no relationship that makes him feel uncomfortable. He will do everything that is only meaningful to life and will not do anything that "wastes life". It will be his lifelong pursuit to make his flower of life bloom and live every day carefully.

"Practice" means that he forces himself to find opportunities for enlightenment with extraordinary perseverance. He knows that "true freedom" comes from unremitting self-discipline. By forcibly suppressing his heart, he opens his mind from the inside out and binds and forges his body from the outside in order to blend with nature. Therefore, the more he will grasp the pulse of world development. All the accomplished people who rarely meet in society have never experienced the "81 difficulty", and the most important pursuit in the mind of "practitioners" is always "spiritual strength" rather than "material".

"Being superior" means that your pain is mentioned by people who have experienced the above three kinds of experiences, and it will subvert all your previous cognition. You suddenly understand that your present situation is completely caused by your "inability to see yourself clearly", and all the present situation is attracted by your own thoughts, words and deeds. Of course, the premise of meeting such people is that you must first "know people" and have enough "understanding". You know how to look back on yourself from time to time. I can't see myself clearly when I look at myself. Such people will often guide you to "see yourself clearly" and be enlightened in advance.

The real "master" is always "deep and simple", and he is unique. Because he is a person who walks on the "normal road" because of "consciousness", he is incompatible with other 99% people in society. In order to avoid ideological harm to himself and people with low understanding, he will not take part in any "abnormal road" social activities. Let you "enlighten" in advance Because of his unusual life experience and knowing what he wants, he won't look at how rich and powerful you are. All he needs is your sincerity and open-minded attitude. Because they are all "enlightened" because they pursue "spirit", please identify those who call themselves "superior". If he wants to ask you some questions.

Take this article to write to readers who are confused about their own lives. I hope readers and friends can "see themselves clearly" and "enlighten" in advance in the new year, pay tribute to 2020 and advance to 202 1!
