Why is it that there are many people who study Buddhism, but there are very few who are enlightened? The reason is related to three kinds of people. It can also be said that it has something to do with the reason why we study Buddhism.
Different people have certain opportunities to come into contact with Buddhism, but most of them choose to study Buddhism because of these three situations, and these three situations determine whether you have gained something from studying Buddhism.
In the first category, the chances of learning Buddhism and becoming enlightened are almost zero.
This kind of people study Buddhism, most of them learn Buddhism for the sake of good fortune, because some people study Buddhism, they all say that worshipping the Bodhisattva is very spiritual, because of this, it will affect the people around them, and they will also begin to be moved, and begin to enter the team of learning Buddhism, and this kind of person, no matter how long they study Buddhism, if they do not change their minds, they will never be able to become enlightened.
The second type of person, the chance of learning Buddhism and becoming enlightened, is very small.
Most of these people study Buddhism because they have encountered difficulties in their lives, problems that cannot be solved, or their health has been endangered, and due to major changes in their families and individuals, such people have begun to join the team of learning Buddhism.
Compared with the former, this kind of person has the opportunity to become enlightened, but the chance is very small, because this kind of person passively chooses to study Buddhism, or when life is desperate, he enters the empty door, so this kind of person, in the process of learning Buddhism, is often passive, they may recite sutras, may keep fasting, but these are all passive.
Even if you take the initiative, it is because you want to escape from the reality of the past, or change the current status quo, that you choose to take the initiative to study Buddhism. Therefore, this kind of person is not the easiest type of enlightenment.
The third type of person, who learns Buddhism and has a slightly greater chance of enlightenment, will be slightly greater than the first two.
Most of these people study Buddhism not because they are influenced by others, or because their lives have changed, but because they suddenly start to think about a problem, and those who start from this question will have a much greater chance of learning Buddhism and becoming enlightened than the first two.
Shakyamuni Buddha, the reason for his initial practice, is because he took the initiative to think about why people are born, old, sick and dead, why there is always pain in life, what is the relationship between himself and the world, and who is he? Because he wanted to know the answer, Shakyamuni Buddha practiced painstakingly, and finally found the answer under the Bodhi tree.
So, if you're because you want to know who you are? If you want to solve the problem of life and death, you choose to take the initiative to study Buddhism, then this kind of person must also take the initiative in the process of learning Buddhism, and will definitely be more willing to spend effort than the first two to seek enlightenment and truth. Therefore, this kind of person is the easiest to become enlightened when he learns Buddhism compared to the first two kinds of people.

"Great enlightenment" is an important concept in Buddhism, which refers to a deep understanding and understanding of the nature of many things such as human life and the universe. In Buddhism, enlightenment is the highest state for a practitioner to attain transcendence from the cycle of birth, death, hunger, and judgment, and is the only way to attain nirvana. According to the traditional theory of Buddhism, there are nine levels of enlightenment, the highest of which is known as the realm of the "Ten Bodhisattvas".
In this realm, the practitioner has completely transcended the distinction between self and self, and is equipped with endless wisdom and skillful means to help sentient beings to liberate themselves from suffering and to realize the perfection of themselves and others. It is important to note that the term "great enlightenment" is not limited to the realm of Buddhism, but can also be used to describe the ascension of enlightenment and comprehension in a general sense. In the fields of philosophy, psychology, and cultural studies, this term is often used to describe the improvement and breakthrough of human thinking and cognition.
The classic sentences that see through life are enlightened. If that's the case, then it's a good thing that you've really been woken up.
Only in times of adversity can people be enlightened, can they truly realize the warmth and coldness of human feelings, know what is the most important thing, and better see the people and things in the world.
Being a man and doing things to see through and not to say through, this is what I thought someone taught, and then I saw a sentence "know the world, not the world". I think this is the way I want to get along, to see other people's routines clearly, to protect myself, but not to trick others and hurt others. >>>More
