Enlightenment
by Leigh Martinuzzi
Buddha said that to enjoy good health, to bring true happiness to one’s family, to bring peace to all, one must first discipline and control one’s own mind. If a man can control his mind he can find the way to Enlightenment, and all wisdom and virtue will naturally come to him.
Immanuel Kant, an 18th-century German Philosopher, said that the path towards enlightenment is to free oneself of their Self-Incurred immaturity. What does that entail?
What is enlightenment? Is it attainable? If so, what are the paths towards enlightenment?
That is the thought I ponder on and share in this episode – my solo rant. Enjoy!
