Are There Characteristics Common to All Frameworks?

Ever wonder why different spiritual teachings all seem to work—despite being wildly different? The Buddha focused on suffering. Zen master Joshu Sasaki? Clarity. Thich Nhat Hanh? Joy. It’s like each teacher had their own signature recipe for enlightenment.

But here’s the twist: no matter the flavor, every effective teaching framework shares the same three essential ingredients. Miss even one, and the whole thing falls apart.

So, what makes a framework actually work? And more importantly, what’s beyond the framework itself? Stick around—because this is where things get really interesting.
