Good Question and you may want to write about that Question you are asking here, since the anther may differ from one to the other! I read the Buddha books or also called teachings and guides, Now there are a lot of them and it is a long and extensive read and study. There for the anther to you question may be just as long and extensive, unless you fund enlightenment, then the anther is rather short and obvious. But by then you are already a Buddha!
