What is a Buddha, Arahant, Liberation, Enlightenment, Vows?

When it comes to formulating the wish or aspiration to realise our highest spiritual potential, and be liberated from all suffering in the process, there are actually quite different potential final outcomes that it is good to be mindful of. This talk has a look at shorter and longer Paths, and may help people to feel clearer in the quality of their aspiration and resolve. There are also some interesting perspectives with regards the way different Buddhist Schools relate to these matters. Recorded on an intensive 9 day retreat taught in Malaysia.

Thank you 🙏🏻

Thank you.

Thank you Ajahn Achalo. Excellent talk and great recording. By the way hearing the background noise is part of the experience and I am grateful for you for sharing it.

Thank you for sharing this talk. I have been wondering about these questions for some time, and listening to this talk has helped me to clarify my questions, and points a way toward answers

Great talk as always but I feel better for those who already have reasonable understanding of Buddhist principles. If ur just starting out with exploring Buddhism, go for one of Ajahn achalo's earlier talks 🙏
