Liberation. Period. | December 11, 2014
Freedom from desires and passions is not the same as the attainment
of 'liberation by mind' and 'liberation by insight' which alone can cut
the root of dependent origination: ignorance. Buddhism was not conceived
as a means to become liberated from desire, but as a means to become liberated.
