Can somebody help me answer this?

4. Yeah those pesky words

Never quite hit the mark do they

The way the poster phrased it gave me a distinct sense that it was a very dualistic idea. Buddha or something outside ourselves was the arbiter of sin and nosin. And salvation was something to be achieved not the current state we are in if we are able to notice that.

I know my teachers are quick to remind us that if you reach out for enlightenment or say salvation, you'll miss it.
