Genuine Discernment
The
fundamental aim of Buddhist practice is not belief; it’s enlightenment,
the awakening that takes place when illusion has been overcome. It may
sound simple, but it’s probably the most difficult thing of all to
achieve. It isn’t some kind of magical reward that someone can give you
or that a strong belief will enable you to acquire. The true path to
awakening is genuine discernment; it’s the very opposite of belief.
