joe..question : how do you absolutely... for sure know you reached the pinnacle of awakening?
you might have reached a certain point..however need to go further and deeper and longer... merle Merle, quoting: "question:...what is the difference between zen and atheism?" Atheism does not exist; Zen does. quoting: "is enlightenment merely an illusion? or perhaps even a delusion?" Not to those who have experienced it. But they must continue to practice in order to remain awake, and for their behavior to continue to be "enlightened". Else, awakening becomes just a memory. --Joe > Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > question:...what is the difference between zen and atheism?.... > > is enlightenment merely an illusion? or perhaps even a delusion?
