Reply to "Zen or Mahayana Buddhism asserts that enlightenment can be attained through meditation, self-contemplation, and intuition rather than through faith and devotion and that is practiced mainly in China, Japan, Korea, and Vietnam"

Thank you Teo for this very interesting and very long topic.

Obviously some situations are harder than others; there’s no doubt about it, some situations are harder than others. But nonetheless from a Buddhist point of view, in any situation, no matter how extreme, it is possible to let go, be present, and experience existence beyond suffering in that moment. Even though we may suffer deeply in that moment on a personal level.
