Diverse Paths to Enlightenment

Multiple paths exist toward achieving enlightenment, as illustrated by historical teachings of the Buddha. One important distinction lies between meditation practices focused on deep absorption and those relying on insight through wisdom. The experiences of enlightened monks, known as arahants, indicate that liberation can be attained through either form of meditation. This diversity encourages individual exploration to find the most fitting meditative approach, whether through profound concentration or refined momentary focus.
