Meditation is the path to enlightenment. Enlightenment is a state of mind where you no longer measure yourself against others, and you find inner peace. Enlightenment is the state of finally understanding the answers to life’s big questions. It’s possible for everyone, and it’s a part of the Buddhist path. This talk is about the Buddha’s enlightenment and how to find out the truth about happiness and the way to achieve it.
