In Buddhism, enlightenment refers to a unique experience which wholly transforms the enlightened individual from their previous condition in samsara. Siddhartha Gautama who is also known as the Buddha, is said to have achieved enlightenment, as are others reputed to have attained Buddhahood. The Heart Sutra says that in truth there is no suffering and no enlighenment and this apparent contradiction is also seen on this page and in The Diamond Sutra.

  • In Buddhism, enlightenment refers to a unique experience which wholly transforms the enlightened individual from their previous condition in samsara. Siddhartha Gautama who is also known as the Buddha, is said to have achieved enlightenment, as are others reputed to have attained Buddhahood. Within the Buddhist tradition several other words are closely related to the word enlightenment. Kensho and Satori are experiences at the start of the path to full enlightenment. Nirvana, Bodhi and Mind are nearly synonymous with the word enlightenment, and in experience may be identical words. Tathagata and Buddha-nature are often used as impersonal translations of enlightenment. The Heart Sutra says that in truth there is no suffering and no enlighenment and this apparent contradiction is also seen on this page and in The Diamond Sutra.
