Friend nameless,
Quote:
Enlightenment is when the seer and the seen is ONE in which the seer or *I* as seer is no more. So, only in its death does enlightenment happens. Love & rgds |

Suzuki had a nice definition: "Enlightenment is not any particular stage that you attain."
I think he also said (paraphrase) Enlightenment is like everyday living only a few inches off the ground. |

Sort of like tripping and falling on your face, while you were trying to focus on something.
this was an analogy BTW, that enlightenment is understanding that enlightenment is not that important after all.. or so they say.
