blah.
everyone wants a handout.
believe in Jesus and your problems will be solved! if i could just find a buddhist to council me i can find enlightenment. blah blah blah
whatever happened to finding your own path?
If you want enlightenment, you won’t get it through “counseling.”
You’ll need to follow the same path as the Buddha followed: unflinching examination of the self through meditation.
This examination will reveal how ignorance, desire, and anger govern much of your everyday behavior. This was not easy work for the Buddha, nor will it be easy for you.
But enlightenment is possible for you (just as it is available to all people, including Fireball), if you’re serious about putting an end to the profound discontent that you (and all people) experience.
I suggest you become a student of a Buddhist teacher and practice hard under that teacher’s guidance. This is the path of Buddhism. Here’s a listing of Buddhist centers around the world: http://www.buddhanet.info/wbd/
no why waste time? Enlightenment required repenting to Jesus.
