What does that exactly mean? What does it consist of?

    To quote Lao Tzu, "He who knows does not say. He who says does not know."

    Enlightenment is seeing cleary directly the true nature of reality, in that all conditioned things are impermanent, unsatisfactory & not-self. Enlightenment is also seeing clearly directly with realisation the Four Noble Truths, in that suffering is attachment and the causes of suffering are craving & ignorance.

    The result of enlightenment is greed, hatred & delusion (ignorance) will cease in the mind. What remains is the mental experience of liberation & peace, which is called Nibbana.

    So therefore all false ideas and conflicting emotions have been extinguished. :)
