Many Eastern and Western Buddhist teachers find it important to stress that Enlightenment is possible in this very lifetime. The Buddha also stressed that especially in the Satipatthana practice, for example. I find this to be motivating and empowering, why do you disagree? Would you say that all teachers and practitioners who claim stages of Enlightenment or do not experience suffering anymore are deluded?

Much Dukkha seems to come from the misinterpretation of meditation experiences. For example, the different stages of concentration. Could you please talk about the dangers on the path of purification, and how we can protect ourselves from them?
