Book Cover & Preview Text
Throughout human history, very few beings have fully awakened to the true realisation of what they are. Enlightenment has been viewed as almost impossible to achieve in our lifetime because we feel it’s some distant goal that only those who have the right karma can attain it. Some part of ourselves looks at the famous enlightened beings of the past and compares who we are now to that standard, and of course we feel less than able to match up to their almost super-human qualities and personalities. To become a Buddha though, we must not try to match who he was after his enlightenment, but we should try to match what the Buddha did to wake up fully.
