BUDDHA and RUMI: The Muslim Poet Who Found NIRVANA

Описание: 🔍 DID RUMI DISCOVER NIRVANA? WHEN SUFI MYSTICISM MEETS BUDDHIST ENLIGHTENMENT

What if two spiritual masters separated by 1,700 years and thousands of miles discovered the exact same truth about human consciousness? Buddha, the enlightened teacher of ancient India, and Rumi, the ecstatic Sufi poet of medieval Persia, never met and never read each other's works, yet both described an identical transformation: the complete annihilation of the self. From fanā (ego annihilation in Sufism) to anattā (not-self in Buddhism), discover why their insights converge, where they diverge, and what their teachings mean for us today.

DISCOVER:
Why Buddha's "extinction" and Rumi's "annihilation" describe the same psychological death
How ego dissolution appears in BOTH Sufi fanā and Buddhist nibbāna
The historical evidence connecting Islamic Sufism and Buddhist meditation practices
How whirling dervishes and silent monks use opposite methods to reach identical states
The unexpected parallels between Rumi’s divine love and the Buddha’s dependent origination
Why both traditions warn against spiritual consumerism and demand actual practice
