Kalu Rinpoche | What is the path to enlightenment

Q: What is the path to enlightenment?

A: The path to enlightenment is to reflect upon yourself. That is the path to the enlightenment. There is no going forward without looking at yourself first. Look at yourself. Then you know which path you will go to.

Just following the path because somebody telling you to follow it. Just following the Guru and tradition, just because somebody tell you to follow it and do it. Don’t do it. You know.

Just reflect to yourself first: the meaning of life, the meaning of happiness, the meaning of suffering. You don’t have to be so sad when you reflect all of that. But at least just try to reflect little bit and what do you want from it, and how you can balance things, you know? Then the idea of the enlightenment, the idea of ultimate happiness can occur. Then you seek for the method.
