The Goal of Buddhis Education
What is the ultimate goal of the buddhas
teaching? It is to attain the perfect, complete Enlightenment. Transliterate
from Sanskrit, it is called Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi. Out of respect, the
phrase was maintained in its original form rather than translated. There are
three stages within this enlightenment: “Proper Enlightenment”, ”Equal and
proper Enlightenment” , “ perfect, complete Enlightenment”.
The Buddha told us, that although
scientists, philosophers and religious scholars may have reached a good
understanding about life and the universe, this though they have obtained some
understanding. They are far from having freedom from anxiety, from ending their
poisons of greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance and doubt. They remain mired in
all the troubles of human relationships and are swayed by personal feelings. In
other words, they are human.
