  Duckie : Bodhisattva Kunchok Ngden

here is enlightenment, but it's not the only one

i'm new to zaadz, infact i just now set up my profile and wrote my first blog.  i am a buddhist practictioner but i approach the concept of enlightenment from many different ways. one thing i think is commonly agreed upon is that enlightenment is beyond suffering (samsara) … but the same is said of nirvana, and in this way we begin to see the knot of eternity. all things are one.

we do not need to understand the make up of water to know that it will defeat thirst.

we acheive enlightenment when we understand everything without being aware of it, and the sad part of that is… you must be fully aware to get there! it's an amazing dance.

anyway, i wrot a my first blog on this particular subject and i'd enjoy reading the thoughts of a few other dharma bums-so check it out. i'd just put it here but firefox won't let me copy and paste for some reason…
