You do not have to accept what Vishowntarji's talking, explaining about. Just don't take it at it's face value. You must develop the angle of analyzing the things in your own style and be confident about what you deduce. Sometimes, the technique might just be closing your eyes, analyzing, and sometimes themethod might be complicated ones. But nothing is complicated, if you do right, all are simple techniques. You must practice!!!!! You must experience by yourself. You do not have to agree with Budhha, you do not have to agree with what your elders tell you. YOu do not have to believe just becasue it's the fact beleived for thousands of years. That's how Budhha himself asked poeple to even doubt him-Budhha. But he believes that the techniques he discovered is the sure-shot way to get enlightment. But to know it, you have to follow it, practice it, not just read it. Definition of ENLIGHTMENT... we should not even try to explain it. But we must assume something before we do the experiement - i.e., hypothesis. So the hypothesis is - There may be Enlightment. You think you have time to experiment to solve this hypothesis, then try Budhha's method of Vipasyana Meditation, middle path.
