>>4304099>Adayashanti is a fucking American modern Buddhist dude, hindsight 20/20. Fucking crock of shit.Hence why I referenced him
Because you at least know about him
Enlightenment, at least, is the buddhist sense, is free yourself of desire, but then again, the desire of enlightenment is a desire of itself, but one will not achieve enlightenment if one does not desire for it (even Koishi desires it when she wants to stop reading thoughts), so in the end, you do not escape from desire, you are just letting the desire of no desire controlling your state of mind.
It is quite paradoxical, like nothingness does not exist, because even if it does, then then we lose everything, we still have nothingness because it belongs outside of that everything, which is contradictory.
Siddartha himself didn't concern with external bullshit, he actually just practised meditation real hard after accummulated a lot of knowledge and real life experience, to the point his mindfulness was so nurtured he finally saw the world as how it is. So if anything I think he would consider Zen Buddhism to be closer to his way of doing things (not having an official holy text that no one can dispute, taking it easy and enjoying life as it is). But actually in the lore there was one time when a normie asked him that since there were so many schools of philosophies and religions out there in India at that time, he was confused as which one should he lived his life according to.
