Enlightment 101\n\nBuddhism is all about spiritual development.It's not a religion that empha-sizes worship of gods or goddesses to achieve salvation.Instead it encouragesthe practitioners to manifest the divinity within so that they can liberate them-selves with their own hard work.  \nBuddhism focuses on the following things:  \n·Being mindful of your own thoughts and activities(practicing meditation)  \n·Living a proper life(upholding morality/kindness)  \n·Developing wisdom  \nThese things will help liberate the person from suffering.According to Bud-dhist belief,suffering is caused by desire and ignorance.  \nDesire  \nDesires cause suffering because of the following:  \n·They create tension that motivates the person to fulfill the desires.  \n·The benefits they give do not last forever.  \n·Most desires do not completely satisfy a person.  \n·Their rewards can dwindle and force one to seek a substitute.  \n·They may cause addictions,which makes one dependent on them.  \n·They distract the person from pursuing spiritual goals.  \n·They can tie a person to material existence.  \nAs you can see,desires may be good for keeping you preoccupied.But ulti-mately they do not satisfy you and they may even harm you.  \nIgnorance  \nAccording to Buddha,desires can lead to other unhelpful things such as hos-tility,greed,helplessness,and bad thoughts.Practically speaking,wantingsomething badly makes a person sacrifice things such as peace of mind,clar-ity of thought,concern for others,etc.  \nThese desires,he said,are the result of ignorance.By having a better under-standing of desires and reality in general,it will be easier to break free fromsuffering.  \nIf you understand a thing,you will be better equipped to control it.Basi-cally,the path to enlightenment involves increasing your understanding andstrengthening your self-control so that you can escape suffering.  \nThe end goal of Buddhism is to achieve enlightenment,which is also callednirvana.So what is nirvana,exactly?Although experiencing nirvana is be-yond words,it has been described as the following:  \n·Gaining true satisfaction  \n·Attaining pure joy  \n·Awakening to reality  \n·Seeing reality for what it really is  \n·Knowing your true self  \n·Being part of a cosmic unity  \n·Basking in the energy of the universe  \n·Feeling unconditional love  \n·Tapping into infinite wisdom  \n·Attaining a profound peace","cbCairwFLfjmNgn7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairwFLfjmNgn7","pdf",2726245,58,"English","# BuddhismFor Beginners\n## Enlightenment 101\n## Enlightenment
