It is a misunderstanding to think that enlightenment is some sort of final escape from life and that the doctrine of the unsatisfactory nature of samsara obviates any need for involvement with other beings or social responsibility. Because nirvana is selfless, there is no self that enjoys a state of being beyond the world. Wisdom and compassion are ultimately inseparable, wisdom being the complete knowledge of ultimate selflessness and compassion being the selfless commitment to the happiness of others. – Robert Thurman, “The Politics of Enlightenment” |

| I love the Buddhist concept of enlightenment as living without anxiety over imperfection. You can strain every fiber of your being trying to be flawless, only to face inevitable failure–or you can stop worrying about perfection, which instantly makes everything feel great.

| In taking refuge in the Buddha, we take refuge in the possibility that we, like the Buddha, can be freed from greed, liberated from hatred, and awakened from delusion â⬔ this is one of the ways enlightenment is described. We do not take refuge in a deity or power higher than ourselves. We find faith and confidence in the idea that enlightenment is possible because the human being Siddhartha Gautama â⬔ as the Buddha was called before his enlightenment â⬔ was able to exemplify that potential for humanity in his awakening. We take refuge in a potential that is deeply human.

| Reflecting Enlightenment
To wake up, to be liberated, is to be able to reflect the buddhadharma, as it is, without your projection. You donââ¬â¢t possess enlightenment. It possesses you. – Roshi Robert Althouse, ââ¬Å”After Awakeningââ¬Â |

| Enlightenment is not something you achieve. It is the absence of something. All your life you have been going forward after something, pursuing some goal. Enlightenment is dropping all that.

| Nobody to Be, Nothing to Strive For
To study the way of enlightenment is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things. – Eihei Dogen, “Tea and Rice” |

| Karma and Individual Responsibility
By believing that we can actually change our karmic circumstances, we can pray for others, purify negativity, and create positive karma with the intention of attaining enlightenment. Instead of trying to change our outer circumstances, we will understand that it is more meaningful to change our own phenomena. – Thinley Rinpoche, “Continuous Mind “ |

| American Buddhism Calls for Participation
In this historical moment when American democratic ideals of freedom, civility, pluralism, altruism, and individualism make America the most comfortable home on earth for the individual pursuit of enlightenment, it is an essential form of Buddhist practice to participate in politics, to vote, to speak out, to encourage those who agree, to reason with those who disagree. It is wisdom. It is meditation. It is compassion. It is ethics. – Robert A. F. Thurman, ” The Politics of Enlightenment “ |
