Buddha Statue

Enlightenment does not mean to become dead like a Buddha statue. An enlightened person still thinks, however they know that the thinking process is impermanent, unsatisfactory, and empty.

Through practice we can see things clearly. We need to investigate suffering and stop its causes. If not, wisdom can never arise. We must see things exactly as they are - feelings are just feelings, thoughts are just thoughts. This is the way to end all our problems.
