Ep4 - Why it’s easy yet risky being a Buddhist.

In this episode I discuss why I think that it is easy to be a Buddhist or an Impersonalist when one takes the ascending path of gaining knowledge. One can easily accept these conclusions simply by using their own intellectual faculties to analyse reality. One can easily minimise paradoxes and apparent contradictions in teachings and behaviour by accepting a monistic or void-like conclusion. But in accepting these conclusions one must also accept that reality is going on like a machine and never have we observed a machine without a mind behind it nor have we ever observed a mind without a personality behind it. Therefore those who are true essence seekers will not stop at the simple conclusion, they will go deeper and seek the Supreme Personality behind it all.
