The Chinee Proverbs
"Find enlightenment through heeding many points of view. Find ignorance through few." Wei Zheng
"After the long slumber of ignorance, a single word can change a man forever." Nan Guo Zi
What is enlightenment? Enlightenment is self-awakening. But self-awakening to what? To the universal truths, such as "sunset will be followed by sunrise" and "what goes up must also come down." These may be simple truths, but many people are simply unaware of them. Self-awakening may dawn on you suddenly. It is effortless. Enlightenment requires clarity of thinking through asking many self-intuitive questions. The more questions you ask, the more self-enlightening answers you may get until one day you stop any more question because by then you may already have the answer, and that is enlightenment.
