Question

What are three major ideas of the Enlighenment?

Answer 1

1-  existence of impermanence (nothing lasts forever / everything changes)

2-  suffering from craving (Craving sensory stimulation, craving existence, and craving non-existence give rise to the "continuity of being" )

3-  cessation of suffering (You can end eternal suffering by ending the craving that leads to the continuation of suffering.)

Answer 2

All knowledge wisdom and understanding comes from with-in.

Become a seeker, the mind does not understand, understanding comes from the heart.

Follow no one or no teaching, to be enlightened you need no teacher, its all within

Enlighenment I belive is enlightenment.

Answer 3

first we have 2 define what is "Enlightenment":

it is clarity of the mind to see the Truth.

my belief is that its simple; jesus said:

"i am the Light of the world" (john 8.12)

&

"i am the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE" (john 14.6)

all those who answered before me talked mainly about "self-enlightenment", though the matter is WAY MORE SIMPLE!

ask jesus for enlightenment.

if he is real, he'll answer.

thats it.

Popularization of ideas - the rise of philosophes, their job to publicize and popularize ideas.

Answer 6

All knowledge comes from critical examination of empirically gathered data.

Hostility to church and monarchy.

What is good for some should be good for all. There are rights, and those rights must be universal.
