ENLIGHTENMENT 101

Buddhism is all about spiritual development. It’s not a religion that emphasizes worship of gods or goddesses to achieve salvation. Instead it encourages the practitioners to manifest the divinity within so that they can liberate themselves with their own hard work.

Buddhism focuses on the following things:

• Being mindful of your own thoughts and activities (practicing meditation)

• Living a proper life (upholding morality/kindness)

• Developing wisdom

These things will help liberate the person from suffering. According to Buddhist belief, suffering is caused by desire and ignorance.

Desire

Desires cause suffering because of the following:

• They create tension that motivates the person to fulfill the desires.

• The benefits they give do not last forever.

• Most desires do not completely satisfy a person.

• Their rewards can dwindle and force one to seek a substitute.

• They may cause addictions, which makes one dependent on them.

• They distract the person from pursuing spiritual goals.

• They can tie a person to material existence.

As you can see, desires may be good for keeping you preoccupied. But ultimately they do not satisfy you and they may even harm you.

Ignorance

According to Buddha, desires can lead to other unhelpful things such as hostility, greed, helplessness, and bad thoughts. Practically speaking, wanting something badly makes a person sacrifice things such as peace of mind, clarity of thought, concern for others, etc.

These desires, he said, are the result of ignorance. By having a better understanding of desires and reality in general, it will be easier to break free from suffering.

If you understand a thing, you will be better
