ENLIGHTMENT…
\n&
\nThe 10 WAYS for achieving it…
\n—
\nThere are 10 worlds or planes of existence, the first 6 are in samsara, while the other 4 are above it and without rebirth, that is why they are also called the deathless.<\/p>\n

How can one get to those 4 upper worlds void of any suffering caused by rebirth ?<\/p>\n

From my humble understanding there are different possibilities, according to each one’s nature and\/or karma and\/or right view\/effort\/resolve :<\/p>\n

1. Listening to a Dhamma talk on the 4 Noble Truths (Stream-Entry) <\/p>\n

2. Understanding the Dhamma through the right evaluation of Anatta (Dhamma-Eye) <\/p>\n

3. Training rightly in the 4 foundations of mindfulness (Samadhi-Bhavana) <\/p>\n

4. Using right discernment of the Dhamma, i.e. : Sampajanna (Khippabinna) <\/p>\n

5. Achieving any of the 4 Noble States through absorption or the liberation of heart (Brahmavihara-Bhavana)<\/p>\n

6. Right resolve\/resolution concerning the future, both in human life as wife\/son of a next Buddha for example or willingly choosing one of the upper worlds destinations (i.e. : Arahant, Bodhisattva, Buddha)<\/p>\n

7. Visiting Thusita and choosing it as next destination after the present human existence (Bodhisattva)<\/p>\n

8. Hiding from karma by its understanding\/seed and by the right handling of intentions, in order not to be seen anymore by both Mara and Yama after human death (being Astute) <\/p>\n

9. Empathy based on gratitude, kind love and compassion, opening the gates of the spiritual path (Monks & Savakas)<\/p>\n

10. Boundless love, overcoming duality and any conceit linked to a self (Pacekkabuddhas)<\/p>\n

In my very limited knowledge, each one of the above 10 WAYS is valid\/effective for ending forever the suffering of Samsara.<\/p>\n

The only difference is the time needed in achieving the goal, if in the present exsistence or if more rebirths are needed.<\/p>\n

Anyone seeing & wishing to end the suffering of Samara, should choose the one matching more his own nature, in order to step on ‘the path of the unshakable happiness’. \ud83d\ude4f\u2728\ud83d\ude4f<\/h6>\n
