Why are enlightened people so scary?

Enlightenment generally refers to people who practice cultivation, who suddenly become indifferent to everything in the world and let go of it. However, this is a result that can only be achieved after practicing for a long period of time. Once a person is enlightened, all worldly affairs will be seen as unnecessary troubles. Under its banner, only the enlightened people can be truly free.

To use a popular saying nowadays, everything is just passing clouds. Perhaps such wisdom is very rare in Buddhism, but in life, if we ignore everything, our hearts will not be touched and we will not be moved. It's actually very scary.

Behind the calm state of mind, there is also a lack of pursuit for anything and no yearning for anything. Although this conforms to the Buddhist principles of tranquility, freedom, equality, and enlightenment, it is not spiritual practice after all, and one still has to get along with others in life.
