We all know the Buddha claimed to be enlightened. And most claim in that same regard, Jesus was too. Buddha described it as an end to suffering, Jesus saw it as salvation.
I know it's an apples to oranges comparison, but many who claim to be enlightened say that everyone is capable of this. Along with the process comes compassion, forgiveness, lasting happiness, gratitude for all life, and really every positive emotion without any of the negatives.
So how do you guys feel about the concept?

Have you done it? If so, how? What did it feel like?

No, no. I'm on the path, but I don't think I can claim to be enlightened.

I hope you don't mind, I've got many questions (:
Do you think the path is of regular meditation?
