Satori (悟
Korean oh;
Japanese satori (from the verb
satoru);
Chinese: wù) is a Japanese
Buddhist term for
enlightenment. The word literally means "understanding". It is sometimes loosely used interchangeably with
Kensho, but Kensho refers to the first perception of the
Buddha-Nature or True-Nature, sometimes referred to as "
awakening".
Kensho is not a permanent state of enlightenment, but rather a clear glimpse of the true nature of creation. Satori on the other hand refers to "deep" or lasting enlightenment. According to
D. T. Suzuki, "Satori is the raison d'être of
Zen, without which Zen is no Zen. Therefore every contrivance, disciplinary and doctrinal, is directed towards satori." Satori can be found in every moment of life, it is wrapped in all daily activities, its goal to unwrap them to see satori.
