Buddhist Enlightenment
It is a state of infinite bliss, peace, joy and love.
Lord Buddha sought the meaning of life after noticing human suffering for the first time as an adult. Lord Buddha was a prince and heir to a royal kingdom. This however did not stop him from his quest and he gave up his pampered life. The Buddha’s mission was to discover the meaning of life. What is the point of being born, living for a while, suffering, and then dying?
Suffering is overcome when one becomes enlightened because of the awareness that one is not the body, or the mind. It is the ego that causes suffering. We are all one. Seeking the truth and raising your level of consciousness is the greatest gift you can give to yourself, and to all of existence.

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find anything that agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.
