You’ve Got a Pocket Full of... EnlightenmentFor thousands of years, people have relied on the wisdom of the Buddha to understand the world and achieve a level of enlightenment which frees you from the disturbing emotions which can cloud our minds and stop us from being happy. Who is this Wise Guy? The Buddha is said to have been born over 2,000 years ago near the border of India and Nepal. He was born Siddharta Gautama, a prince who would grow up to become the philosopher and leader whose teachings are the foundation of Buddhism. It is said that he was confronted with the dichotomy between his life of riches in the palace and those of the poor suffering outside its gates. One day he locked eyes with a man and was mesmerized by what he saw: In a flash, he realized that the perfection he had been seeking outside must be within the mind itself. Through meditation, the Buddha was said to find within himself a state of unconditional and lasting happiness: the state of enlightenment, of ‘Buddhahood.’ |
