Читать книгу 70 Daily Reflections For Your Spiritual Awakening - Adrian Tanase - Страница 14

Without suffering there would be no Enlightenment. Japanese do say that "the greater the doubt, the greater the Awakening". Enlightenment is the supreme state of being where one realizes his Buddha-nature and clears away all causes of suffering. If you can understand the root cause of your own suffering, once the after effects of suffering will subside and dissipate, you will discover your Buddha-nature which is a deep state of aliveness, joy and peacefulness. Other than that, Japanese Zen masters say with confidence that we are already enlightened, and when we meditate we do not look for Samadhi or Enlightenment, we are “Enlightened beings, just assuming Buddha’s posture in meditation”. We are already enlightened, we all have innate Buddha-nature, it’s just a matter of assuming the responsibility of being enlightened beings and then acting as such. The usual spiritual path to Enlightenment, means practicing for years and years one or even more Buddhist paths, involves lots of studying and tons of practice, going up through many levels of consciousness until you realize through wisdom your Buddha-nature or your awake state of being. This might be a longer and more complex path, but the result pays off every second of it.
