Daily Enlightenment - June 10th: Realization

A realisation is personalised. It makes an aspect of the Truth of all
things part of oneself. That is why it is important to realise. A
thousand readings of the truths in sutras without realising a single
one of them is nothing truly learnt. All readings should lead to
realisations. Too often have the probing into sutras become intriguing
intellectual Truth "adventure stories" that end in themselves at the
end of studying them.

In this sense, we can't really learn from the realisations of others.
A realisation of someone else is no realisation of oneself. It only
serves as a guide, a sharing or a point of reference. Have you
realised anything from this simple realisation of mine? The Buddha
could not realise the Truth for all on our behalf. He came and He
taught. His sharing is complete! Carry on, Buddhists! Realise what He
did!
