Do Vipassana. Unless you practise this form of meditation you wont understand Buddha.. If you dont understand budhha then no point talking about Buddhism. I dont blame you though most people are confused today when they want to walk on the path of spirituality.
Whem we say I want to get enlightened. We need to understand what we are seeking. Once you experience that every particle in universe is imparmanant in mature then mind does nt distinguish between good or bad, it stays in equilibrium. It stays in bliss mode. This state of bliss is what you seek in spirituality. This state is blissfull ness cannot be described in words because it is beyond your five senses.
Through the practise of Vipassana this can be achieved . Because buddha gave vipassana to the world.
Thanks for taking the time to read!! I considered Vipassana, but then realised that it sounds like a long time doing nothing and contemplating, when I could be out there doing, each to their own though and all the best :-)
Yes it takes time. Best thing to do is contribute to society, help others all the time. The more you give more will be returned to you. Best example is steemit community.
very good point @shrinivasdontul, I think that the point I was trying to gain for myself by writing this is that perhaps some of the philosophies are best incorporated rather than mulled over for lengthy periods within the confines of a strict regime such as a religion. If we all committed more time to practice instead of thinking about doing hopefully the world would be a better place for it too. All the best :-)
