Enlightenment Is An Evolutionary Goal. For Everyone
“Whether or not enlightenment is a plausible goal for us is a vital question for our lives. If it is possible for us to attain such perfect enlightenment ourselves, our whole sense of meaning and our place in the universe immediately changes. To be open to the possibility is to be a spiritual seeker, no matter what our religion. Enlightenment is not meant to be an object of religious faith. It is an evolutionary goal.”
–Robert Thurman (American Buddhist Writer, Author, Found and President of the Tibet House and Je Tsongkhapa Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University, 1941-)
