The Path to Enlightenment

In Buddhism, attaining enlightenment means reaching a spiritual state of mind free from suffering and desires. To reach this state, one needs to experience a peaceful state of mind. It means to have a calm mind that is like a clear and unruffled surface of a lake.

Take a look at people around you. Most of them are probably busy, some yelling, and others complaining or grumbling. They have discarded peace, calmness, and serenity within probably because they do not know that a peaceful mind is synonymous with happiness.

What do you need to do to attain peace of mind? First step is to reflect on your thoughts and deeds. When your mind is disturbed, it gets ruffled like the surface of a pond after you toss a stone into it. What corresponds to a stone? Perhaps it is something others said to you or a mistake you have made. You need to find what agitates your mind.
