What does it meant to be [[Enlightenment|Enlightened]]?
{{Enlightenment Overview}}
 
Most simply stated, [[Enlightenment]] means to unlearn The Self, to unlearn The Other, and to live fully in The Now.
 
=== Unlearning The Self ===
* Nonself - there is no unchanging, permanent self or essence to be found in any phenomenon
* Decentering - a decreased attachment to one’s thoughts and emotions, which are temporary events in the mind, and neither necessarily true nor reflections of the self
 
=== Unlearning The Other ===
* [[Nonduality]] - to experience nondifference and oneness between subject and object
 
=== Living in The Now ===
* [[:Category:Mindfulness|Mindfulness]] - attention to the present-moment experience without evaluation
* Impermanence - all things, whether material or mental, are deeply complex, continuously changing, and subject to decline and destruction
* Nonattachment - having flexibility instead of fixation on achieving outcomes
