The mindful ones depart, they do not delight in a home; Like a swan having left a pond behind, they give up home after home.

A community dedicated to supporting awakening to the truth of enlightenment (Nibbāna) through inquiring into the teachings of the Buddha (Dhamma).
One awakens to the truth of enlightenment (aka stream entry) by:
- Actively learning and reflecting,
- Independently verifying (without believing) to observe the truth
- Putting to practise after seeing benefits to the condition of mind.
Enlightenment is the elimination of greed, anger and delusion, dissolution of the ego and realisation of non-self.
An enlightened being would experience unconditional joy, contentment, freedom from beliefs, a high degree of concentration, and blossoming personal/professional relationships.
