There are no "rules" of enlightenment.
There is the Eight Fold Path TO enlightenment.
Right View - focus on the 4 Noble Truths -suffering exists, suffering comes from desires, suffering can be eliminated, the Eight Fold path is the way
Right Intention - committed to improving one's moral and ethical thinking/action
Right Speech - think before you speak. It is a lie to say "I never meant to say that". You had a choice unless a gun was to your head.
Right Action - Such as do not steal or take things not freely GIVEN (no "finders keepers")
Right Livelihood - gangsters and drug dealers are out
Right Effort - avoid things that encourage the violation of these ideals
Right Mindfulness - control your thoughts, censor yourself when bad thoughts occur, avoid situations that allow them
Right Concentration - this is the meditative state. People like to take the shortcut to this place. Doing that is like trying to put a roof on a house without walls or a foundation.
There are 5 Basic Precepts
1) do not murder
2) do not take anything not freely given
3) avoid improper sex (adultery and the like)
4) do not engage in gossip or lies
5) avoid substances that alter your state of mind

Where can you find Enlightenment?
It is not known for sure, but the Buddha found enlightenment by sitting under the tree of life.Answer:Enlightenment is not a thing to be found or lost it is a state of understanding. In general there is a satori moment (a sudden Aha! event) when everything comes together. "Finding" enlightenment is like studying rules on how to be spontaneous.Answer:I believe that The Buddha (Gautama Siddhartha), after searching for 6 years found enlightenment by going within himself as he sat under the Bodhi tree.
