Non-PRO English to Chinese Social Sciences Religion Buddhism

As far as we know, Buddha did not directly address this contradiction, but some resolution is provided in his belief in the goal of subjective well-being and the heritage of Hindu thought. A possible answer is that if we strive, through ascetic self-discipline and careful training, to attain the happiness of annihilating individual consciousness, then we begin to participate in the experience of the Spirit, which lies at our very essence.

“which lies at our very essence. ”是什么意思？请帮忙，谢谢。
