According to the Buddhist teachings, being enlightened is equivalent with being complelely mentally healthy. This information can be found in book of Buddhist monk Ajahn Amaro. You can find the link to it on www.petergamma.org
To become enlightened takes 12 years of hardship in India. And enlighened is not defined clearly scientifically. But for spritual teachers such as Sadhguru, the term is very clear:
Loten Dahortsang was trained and educated by enlightened spiritual teachers at the Rikon Tibet Institute for 17 years. And he was supported by the Fashion house Grieder at the Paradeplatz in Zurich:
Loten Dahortsang still has his room at the Rikon Tibet Institute, but teaches now alos outside of the monastry. According to the Buddhist teachings someone is only then complelely mentally healthy when we are completely enlighted. This takes 12 years of hardship in India. But some psychotherapists in the West give up their patients after 12 years:
Is this not the fault of the psychotherapists? But the way of the enlightened spiritual master is not integrated in the Western society. And similar was the problem of Milarepa. Milarepa wanted to be free from suffering:
But since the way of Milarepa was not part of his culture at the time when he lived his way was difficult, too:
“The stunning lesson in impermanence gave Milarepa the final push he needed to follow Marpa’s command to meditate in mountain retreat. He stayed there for many years, until his clothes turned to rags, his bones protruded, and the nettles he ate turned his skin green. Hunters and thieves who came upon him thought he was a ghost. When he went begging for food, his uncle, aunt, and neighbors attacked him, and he barely escaped. His sister, who had also become a beggar, wept in misery at his apparently even sorrier state.”
