| Abstract | The writer discusses the Enlightenment of the Buddha, and how Buddhism was founded not on an intellectual theory, but rather on an experience of overwhelming power. This powerful experience that transformed the emaciated ascetic into the radiant figure of the Buddha are clearly described in the sacred texts in the Buddha's own words, which contain the key to the quintessence of Buddhism, to its most profound aspect, in which millennia of religious development are presaged and in which the essential message of all great religions is constituted: the discovery of the universality and immortality of the spirit that shapes all life and that becomes conscious in man if he bursts the barriers of egohood that keep him a prisoner of his own illusions. When the Buddha called upon the people of the world to “release their faith”, he simply expected them to accept his message with an open mind and to let it sink into their hearts as to realize the truth for themselves. |
