That's the typical Buddhist paradigm. They consider attachment and desire an illusion, therefore they work hundreds or thousands of hours erasing attachment and desire. In this way, they achieve a tranquil state. And they call that enlightenment.

Well, it isn't. Enlightenment is opening to the living source, not the quiet peace of a 78-year-old retiree. Quiet peace is better than having OCD, but it's not related to enlightenment. Consider desire and attachment an illusion is just a human idea, like consider sex impure or poverty a shit. Enlightenment is not about those preferences.

You could say that a quiet mind can be a previous condition for enlightenment, but not that a quiet mind is enlightenment . Also it's possible a mind with desire and attachment that is open in some moments and circumstances to the absolute. And very possible a quiet mind that never can be open to the source
