The Buddhist got no self right.  And that's enlightenment. I don't care what yall say 

No one is refuting and denying that. 

There is plenty of dogma alongside enlightened buddhist teachings of no self.

What is being said though is no self is not the end of awakening.

No offense, but the idea that you could comprehend the entire unfathomable range and depth of Buddhist methodology/philosophy (and what it implicitly conveys) by reading a few books and listening to a few talks by a bunch of glorified Western spiritual influencers is so stunningly preposterous that I honestly don't even know how to respond.

1) Shinzen Young and Daniel Ingram are not influencers. I do not follow spiritual influencers.

2) I did not reach my position by reading books but by very deep experiences of God. Buddhism does not explain my experiences of God. Nor would Buddhism produce my experiences of God.

3) I know there are many versions of Buddhism and they get very complicated, but I can only read so much spirituality before it becomes counter-productive.
