About This Quote
The expression "enlightenment is not a goal to be attained, it is a state-of-being to be regained" is one of the most widely used phrases in Buddhism. It means that enlightenment is not something that happens to someone else, but something that one must earn through one's own actions. When you are enlightened, you are no longer subject to suffering, but instead are able to live in harmony with others.
