Zen’s norm is that of absolute autonomy; no gods, no cults, no idols. To literally empty oneself of everything, including God. “If you meet Buddha on the road, kill him”, a saying goes. It is necessary to abandon everything, without leaning on anything, and then to proceed forward, with one’s essence, until the crisis point is reached. It is very difficult to say more about satori, or to compare it with various forms of initiatory mystical experience whether Eastern or Western. One is supposed to spend only the training period in Zen monasteries. Once the disciple has achieved satori, he returns to the world, choosing a way of life that fits his need. One may think of satori as a form of transcendence which is brought into immanence, as a natural state, in every form of life…..
This kind of activity is based on a sense of the individual’s irrelevance, which nevertheless does not paralyze one’s actions, but which rather confers calm and detachment. This detachment, in turn, favors an absolute and “pure” undertaking of life, which in some cases reaches extreme and distinct forms of self-sacrifice and heroism, inconceivable to the majority of Westerners (e.g. the kamikaze in WWII).

Thesatori is a yōkai from Japanese mythology. Resembling monkeys, they are said to dwell in the mountains of the Gifu Prefecture. They are known for possessing psychic abilites.
They are said to meet people walking in the mountains, and tell them what they are thinking before they have time to react. Some stories paint them in a more sinister light, with them appearing at people’s homes to attack and even eat them.

I often get questions on the Buddhist concept of enlightenment (nibānna). In particular there seems to be an idea that Enlightenment as it is seen across all the sects of Buddhism is the same and that it has remained unchanged in concept since the time of Guatama Buddha.
To suggest that Enlightenment is the same across all sects of Buddhism is a grave mistake. Zen Enlightenment is nowhere near the same concept as Theravada Enlightenment. Shingon Enlightenment is nowhere near the same concept as Tibetan Enlightenment. Each sect, branch, sub-sect of Buddhism has evolved its own interpretation on what constitutes Buddhist Enlightenment.
The concept of Enlightenment has evolved over time. Historical, cultural and temporal conditioning have affected the concept of Enlightenment so that it has different interpretations across all the various sects and sub-sects of Buddhism.
Individual associations with the term Enlightenment and the meaning of Enlightenment have been debated and discussed in thousands of sūtras over the past two thousand years.
The meaning of Enlightenment can be shown to have varied over time. The concept of Enlightenment has often been the primary reason for the founding of new branches and interpretations of Buddhism, schisms and break aways have formed in lineages due to an individuals newer interpretation of Enlightenment and how to achieve it.
So, it is no easy thing to explain the concept of Enlightenment. Not without explaining all the different interpretations that have evolved over time, and the different methods for achieving Enlightenment that are the very reason for the various sects of Buddhism. Not without first asking the questioner, “According to which sect? According to which teacher? and according to which point in time?”
The annihilationist view that maintains Enlightenment is nothing more than the cessation of dukkha - the cessation of conditioned existence and samsāra - the wheel of suffering and the realisation of anattā - no-self, this is what most people will say is Buddhist Enlightenment. The release from the wheel of dependent origination - samsāra.
Enlightenment then is little more than annihilation.
But then in Sōtō Zen, Enlightenment is seen as not merely an annihilation of conditioned existence, but rather a higher impersonal and non-subjective consciousness - a state of bliss.
Though this bliss is a state for no one - for no “I.” For there is no “I” to actually achieve Enlightenment in the first place.

This is one of my absolute favorites in Breath of the Wild. Initially made this for #linktober 2020 and wanted to paint more artworks, but I didn’t have any more time that month
