Well Nicky (grant me), i have a PDF file of Buddhism teaching's text in
which might be of widen your perspective on enlightenment. I know, i know
that everyone is already enlightened, but you can read the text just to
widen your horizon as to how Non-duality and the teaching of buddha are two
sides of the same coin.

I will send it in exchange with your eBook if that is OK with you.

Hello Nick, what if i'm living in Thailand and dont have the luxury to afford your eBook. Is there any other way we can exchange information. If no, it's ok. I'd still be your fan. Keep on good and honest work, bro.

I feel, of course, sorry for you. But I have been being curious for long time ago about this issue. You see, material wealth is a foundation for spiritual pursuit, and if a person was left to fight against this material world all alone without mercy from the Source or from God, or whatever, how could he/she keeps his faith.
How old are you now? How much is your savings? I am Thai, living in Thailand now, with a low income and no car nor house of my own, I live in frustration everyday. You may asked me ‘how can you say you’re enlightened?, since in your belief system, enlightened one shouldn’t be whining about agony, he or she must be happy everywhere and every time. Well I don’t think so. Enlightening awareness is one thing, survival is another. You’ve got to be responsible for yourself, or else you would be just like a poor monk who claim to be ‘noble’ yet begging for the food from the ‘lower-mind’ beings of survive.

What is the use for being enlightened then, if you have to be shamefully live in material world?

PS. Congratulation anyway!

Spiritual enlightenment doesnt, in turn, help anyone who attains it. I hate this fact, and i am tired of it. I am quite enlightened myself, thanks to Vipassna practice, but im getting bored of this unfairness in level of material wealth issue.

Why those who are greedy and live only for a secular life can be happy and have all the comfort, while we spiritual people are doomed to live in agony!!!
