A community dedicated to supporting awakening to the truth of enlightenment (Nibbāna) through inquiring into the teachings of the Buddha (Dhamma).
One awakens to the truth of enlightenment (aka stream entry) by:
Enlightenment is the elimination of greed, anger and delusion, dissolution of the ego and realisation of non-self.
An enlightened being would experience unconditional joy, contentment, freedom from beliefs, a high degree of concentration, and blossoming personal/professional relationships.
DhP 35:
Tricky to pin down and swift,
landing wherever it wants;
The taming of the mind is good,
for the tamed mind leads to ease.
DhP 36:
The mind is very subtle and hard to see,
landing wherever it wants;
The wise one should guard the mind,
for a guarded mind leads to ease.
DhP 37:
Wandering far and moving on its own,
immaterial, dwelling in a cave (hiding place);
Those who restrain the mind,
will be freed from Māra's bonds.
