this article is a continuation of the teaching series,
But before I enter into the details of this topic, we must
remember a few key points. First of all, the
goal of Buddhism is to become a Buddha. Not to paint this life in different
colors, not to become a smart or interesting kind of Buddhist, but to become a
Buddha. The Buddhist path is not a method of relaxation or a tablet for
headache, something like “how can we become happier and calmer people” or a
recipe for momentary happiness, but a road to Buddhahood or complete Freedom for
us and all beings.
