The Enlightenment Cycle

“Buddhism is the enlightenment cycle — and there are different types of it. Principally there is short path and long path Buddhism. The long path is more of the religious aspect, that is to say, the church aspect: the practice of reading sutras, healthy ways of living, a certain amount of prayer, a little meditation. The esoteric aspect of Buddhism, which is short path Buddhism, is meditation.”

– Rama, Dr. Frederick Lenz
