Discuss Nukariya’s concept of enlightenment.
Discuss Nukariya’s concept of enlightenment.
1. Describe the ‘sources’ of the self. Think of your own self.
2. Describe what qualities you share in common with your ancestors (parents, grandparents). what beliefs you acquired from your culture (through upbringing, schooling, religion, social media, etc.) and in what ways you are dependent on nature.
3. What does Nukariya mean when he says that enlightenment is the realization of our self dependence on these three sources? Why would such a realization, as dawned on one through self-reflection and meditation, lead to enlightenment?
4. What would such enlightenment consist of? What changes in our beliefs, emotions and behavior would it entail?
