We are on a Buddhist forum, correct? Yes, but as you might have noticed, i have been asking questions. I have not provided any answers that contradicts with Buddhism. Actually, i dont know the answers yet to any of the questions i ve raised.

Isn't the goal of our path to reach Enlightenment and help all living beings overcome samsara? When we use thw words "goal" and "path", both imply time (future) which is the outcome of the self. It raises important questions such as:

1- Is freedom to be found in the future?
2- Is enlightenment something static?
3- Is insight a gradual process?
4- Is it possible to learn how to be free from others?!
5- Was the Buddha himsef a Buddhist? Did he rely on anyone to get enlightened?
6- is freedom something to be desired or is it the lack of desires?
