A small problem of newcomers about Buddhism

In fact, we can also assume that the end point is 1000 meters (Beaver). Although A leads all the way, as long as B doesn't give up, it will eventually reach the finish line. Although it is late, it is no different from A's 1000 meters. Buddhist practice is not a marathon, and there is no victory or defeat.

This is from a hypothetical point of view. If another person works hard, good roots can grow and won't stay that way all the time. Therefore, we call him a good root. Why is it called root? Because it can grow. For example, a tree can sprout, branch, blossom and bear fruit, and its roots can grow, so it can't be poor forever.

Again, true enlightenment has nothing to do with gender, age, education, survival experience and IQ (which means that high IQ may not be enlightened, but too low will not be an obstacle)

Besides, why are all beings equal? The equality mentioned by the Buddha is actually true equality.

Buddha and all sentient beings have the same truth (Buddha nature), so from the eyes of Buddha, he is really like all sentient beings, because truth is equal. This is equality after all.

The final destination of A and B is the same, and they both get the same Buddha fruit. Even if A is faster, B won't be short because of it. How can it be unequal? There is only the first place at the finish line, and everyone who arrives is the first place. It's OK when we get there. There is no difference in order. As for the time on the road to practice, it depends on your own efforts. As far as our teacher Sakyamuni Buddha is concerned, he is diligent. So you can come from the back.

Answers to supplementary questions:

Ha ha ha ha ha, you are right. The biggest difference between "enlightenment" and "understanding" is that enlightenment can definitely be achieved! But knowing or knowing, just knowing but not necessarily doing it. For example, we know that we must stop worrying, but we can't do it yet. This is "solution", and the real "enlightenment" is to know that we can do it at the same time.

"Xie" is all about others, while "Wu" is entirely about yourself.
