What are some of your fruits of the Path?

[Challenge23]

Hey,

I have been thinking about a lot of stuff(styles of learning and how they integrate with the traditional transition method of some schools of Buddhism, that sort of thing) and realized that I don't "know" that many people who have been dedicated towards the Dharma, worked toward the goal of realizing the Dharma and got some form of tangible progress. I know the Buddha(kinda), the HHDL(again, kinda ish), and I think my teacher is pretty attained but I haven't been able to sit down with them over a soda and veggie shoarma.

So, who has gotten tangible progress?

Now, you will be able to veer off a little if you like but I would humbly ask that you at least post the following.

1. Tradition/Practice
2. How long you engaged in said Tradition/Practice.
3. What was the fruit?

Also I'd love from all types, from people who don't snap at their coworkers to individuals who could levitate to my house and remind me that I need to go to bed.

Hi! I think maybe part of the reason no one's replied so far is because dedicating the merit of your practice to all beings means they're not your fruits

I think it's safe to say though that if all of us didn't feel there were some benefit to others, we wouldn't continue practicing.

The Path to Liberation or the Buddha's way is called Megga the well-trodden path.

I became objective and realistic about myself.

1) Tibetan Buddhism (Gelugpa, FPMT)
2) about a year
3) I'm a lot happier: not only does the meditation make me happier, but it seems to have also given me a way of tapping into a basic happiness in my ordinary life. I find myself smiling at the oddest times.
