What is Buddhism & What is Buddhist Awakening?

Buddhism is a process of Spiritual Awakening.

This Awakening is achieved through  :

(a) Morality/Ethics such as No stealing, No Lies, No violence, No intoxication & No sex.

This is ensure that nervous system remains cabable for spritual awakening.

(b) Meditation   : It is achieved through  focussing attention on breath while removing thoughts to keep steady attention and then, entire body is scanned with attention moving to various organs while keeping mind in equanimity i.e. keeping attitude of neither like nor dislike to any feeling/sensations.

Then after a long practice, 4 types of Awakening occurs step by step, all with extreme bliss  :

1. First, Within   : One feels the entire spinal column & brain super charged.

2. Second, Universal: The attention expands & permeates now to entire universe upto infinite space with infinite consciousness. One can know anything anywhere even the upper heavens filled with arch angels(brahmalokas), heavens with angels(devas), all the material world, the world of ghosts and also various hells.

3. Third, Nothingness   : Now the attention is withdrawn from the worldly and all worlds vanish from the sphere of attention, nothingness.

4. Fourth, Nirvana   : The final state of Nirvana when one experiences as becoming the ocean of divine light, everywhere, eternal state having no change & final bliss, what people call as God.
