Learn about: What is Satori, or Enlightenment Satori in Japanese means to be awakened, to understand, to be enlightened. In Zen Buddhism Satori means a sudden burst of unitary consciousness; that this world of apparently separate forms is actually an illusion. The experience is filled with the most intense joy. What are the 7 factors of Enlightenment In Buddhism, seven factors are said to contribute to a person becoming enlightened. When each of these is practised and combined, a subtle chemistry occurs that creates the right conditions in your mind for enlightenment (or Satori) to happen. It is not possible to create enlightenment on demand, but you can create the right conditions for it to occur spontaneously.

Intuition & Satori The essence of Zen is the stripping away of the layers of conceptualisation that you have accumulated over the course of your life until you are left with the essential you. The older you are, the more layers you are likely to have. Zen instructs a person to unlearn what they know so they might experience their essential self. The purpose of Evil Evil exists to create the possibility of choosing compassion, love, kindness, self-sacrifice. These qualities would be meaningless without the contextual background of evil. The important thing is that we consciously identify with and choose to live through our highest self. To know what something is, it is helpful to know what it is not. Communing with Nature Nature is the manifestation of the Divine on the physical plane. The Divine felt like a pervasive non-conceptual intelligence that permeates Nature and which finds expression in the billions of life-forms and intricate ecosystems that make up the biosphere of this planet.
