there is enlightenment and there's what you do with it

Enlightenment can bring one to a nihilist perspective that nothing matters

Ethics

• Enlightenment is not necessarily linked with ethical behavior
  • Example of Zen Buddhists condoning atrocious behavior during WW2

Aspirations Matter

• Your aspirations create your understanding of the path and of enlightenment
  • Exploring your aspirations is an important part of the work
    • It could be the experience of non-dual awareness
    • It could be to be of benefit of all beings
