Best definition of Enlightenment

Charlotte Joko Beck, said: “Enlightenment is not something you achieve. It is the absence of something. All your life you have been going forward after something, pursuing some goal. Enlightenment is dropping all that.”

Thanks for posting that, Jeff.

I have always been fond of Joan Tollifson's writings. I surprised myself and actually read the whole thing.
