a Buddhist once told me.
that even in enlightenment there are still things to learn even for a moment.
that the point of enlightenment is to stop and truly know that one knows nothhing really.
to start at sqaure one and beging down that path is true enlightment and at that end when you meet Buddha one couldnt say they know everything
butg at least they know something.
what do you think of what my friend said please tell me ???

It's an interesting take on buddhism, and even non-buddhist have this philosophy in their life. kinda like saying "Even in the end there is more to learn", that we are just scraping the knowledge in this vast universe in all its complexities and wonder. One couold spend a lifetime studying a subject and still find something new.

I have understood from some enlightened masters that enlightenment means knowing something one supposed to know. There wont be anything to be learned spiritually.
But he needs to know some about biochemistry etc, then he has to learn.
