Question 18: SO, IF WE FOLLOW BUDDHA SHAKYAMUNI, WHICH HEAVEN REALM DO WE AIM TO REACH?

Answer: The goal of practicing Buddhism is Enlightenment and Liberation.

Enlightenment is the ultimate wisdom, understanding everything in the universe, comprehending the truth of the cosmos, knowing the workings of the Law of Karma, achieving perfect morality, possessing boundless compassion, and being free from any suffering. While sentient beings are ignorant, enlightenment is the end of ignorance. While sentient beings cling to the self (ego), enlightenment is the state of no-self (egolessness).

Liberation means no longer being subject to the cycle of birth and death (samsara) when one has attained the complete Nirvana of an Arahant (a fully Enlightened Being).

If Buddhist disciples have not yet achieved complete liberation, they will still be reborn in good realms, with little ignorance and suffering. They will continue their practice until they attain the Arahant state with the complete Nirvana.

Although he writes about Buddhism, he appears to desire unity with other religions to contribute to the cause of world peace. He attempts to demonstrate how differences can complement one another…
