🌟 How to follow the path to enlightenment
“To follow the Buddhist path to enlightenment there is no need to change our external lifestyle. We do not need to abandon our family, friends or enjoyments and retire to a mountain cave.
All we need to do is change the object of our cherishing.
Until now we have cherished ourself above all others, and for as long as we continue to do this our suffering will never end. However, if we learn to cherish all beings more than ourself, we will soon enjoy the bliss of Buddhahood.
The path to enlightenment is really very simple - all we need to do is stop cherishing ourself and learn to cherish others.
All other spiritual realizations will naturally follow from this.”
