Esteet

"""Onko meditaation harjoittaminen esteenä valaistumiselle?"""

valitettavasti usein juuri se harjoitus mitä monesti opetetaan on esteenä valaistumiselle.
Harva tietää tai edes välittää, onko tästä mitään hyötyä vai ei, tehdään kun "kommunistit" käskevät.

Muuten kyllä uskon 100% "meditaatioon"

THE INSTRUCTION TO PRACTICE
It is necessary to practice, because at this time the boundaries of sa.msaara and nirvaa.na must be distinguished. If you practice hard, enlightenment will be attained within this very lifetime. If you do not practice, obtaining the transmission and paying heed to the dharma sometimes when you have time will be of no benefit when they are needed. If you do not meditate, you will wander forever in sa.msaara.

The Thaljur says:
As for the fault of not performing meditation,
Appearance will manifest characteristics of sa.msaara. Objects will be known in the form of self and other. The view will be one that exists in a merely verbal form. Objects will be associated with conception. You will be bound in the state of ego of the kleshas. You will go astray and lose the path of the Buddha. You will not be aware of the nature of fruition.You will not have the ground wherein all dharmas are equal. Self-insight will be bound in the three realms of sa.msaara,1074

And by having conceptualization, you will fall.

The ordinary vehicle also says this. The Avata.msaka Sutra says:
Just as a musician who is deaf,
Although he may make others to be joyful,
Nevertheless, is not heard by himself;
Just so is Dharma without meditation.
Just as one who is a capable boatman
Ferries many beings across the waves,
But he himself remains there till he dies;
Just so is Dharma without meditation.
Just as those who have been tormented by thirst,
By seeing water or by hearing it,
Do not relieve the torment of their thirst;
Just so is Dharma without meditation.

Enpä usko. Valaistuminen on yksinkertaista. Asioiden monimutkaistaminen on este valaistumiselle.
