The Autistic Buddhist - Enlightenment Is The Problem

In seeking to increase my awareness and live a more authentic life, the word Enlightenment has become a problem. It’s problematic because of how it has become defined by many in Western Society. It has evolved into a marketable commodity, something to be sold with the promise of entering a mental state of eternal bliss. None of this has been of benefit to my growth and has only presented as a barrier towards self improvement.

This was so useful! Still reeling slightly at the thought that people might believe they could find enlightenment by shelling out $50,000. We get so trapped by words and ideas, our own and other people’s. Having been entangled in many different traditions and got nowhere, this seems almost too simple to be true. I can’t pretend I understand everything I hear about the Soto Zen tradition, but what I do understand is making a lot of sense. Many thanks 🙏

The core of our attitude towards the actual practice in just 15 minutes! So grateful! 🙏🏻
