The Three Principal Aspects of the Path

“Enlightenment is the inner light of wisdom that is permanently free from all mistaken appearance and whose function is to bestow mental peace, the source of happiness, on each and every living being every day.” – The Mirror of Dharma with Additions

Every living being wishes to be permanently happy and free from all suffering. Within the Buddhist path to enlightenment we can find the methods to accomplish this peaceful state of being easily and swiftly. Thereby making our life deeply meaningful and benefiting not only ourselves but our friends, family and all living beings.
