Perhaps so. But in Buddhism, it is not about the explanation of the concepts, (Now a days, you can find explanation of these concepts everywhere.) but about 'empirically experience/understand' these concepts.

I'm not trying to be contradictory. I just want clarification.

I didn't know the goals of Buddhism was to understand the nature of reality. I thought this was left to speculation and has nothing to do with cessation of suffering and reaching enlightenment.

I personally, yes I would love to have empirically experienced truths rather than truths that simply make sense in theory.

I am practicing and trying and I am putting faith into the Buddhist teachings I'm learning while I practice what I learn.

Thanks for your input!
