+At its root, enlightenment itself is about achieving a dramatic reduction in suffering, and a dramatic increase in mental clarity.
+Enlightenment can be found every day, all day, in everything around you, and through meditative practices, you can harness the many moments of your day in a way that becomes a path to enlightenment. If this is something you are interested in pursuing, read through this page and see where you can get started.

+[[The Map of Everyday Enlightenment]] is a set of tools ([[Trails]], [[Guides]], [[Lenses]] and [[Landmarks]]) for following the [[Beacons|Beacons of Enlightenment]] through the [[Realms]].  In order to conceptualize this development, a very simple framework is available to describe the why and how of these concepts.  [[The Map of Everyday Enlightenment|Understanding this Map]] is useful for exploring and understanding the Landmarks, because they are organized and categorized within that Map.  However, if you are experienced enough with these types of meditative practices, you can likely dive right into the [[Pathways]] to see what you'd like to explore.
