Here in the second of our two-part series, we pick up the story of the Buddha, who spent his life teaching others a clear and simple method of breaking free from habitual, conditioned thinking and awakening into the here and now. After the live of the Buddha, how did Buddhism develop into a diverse set of perspectives and practices? What is enlightenment? What does an enlightened person know? How might we apply the wisdom of these ancient Buddhist sages in our own lives?
