When the enlightenment occurs?

When the enlightenment occurs?
  • Buddha sits under the Bodhi tree for 6 years,
One day in the morning sunrise, when he watches the sun, enlighten occurs.

  • So it’s could happen any moment on our 6 sense base conscious.
  • Zen Buddhism, like to say Big Bang, sound travel, ear hear and enlighten occur.

How to prepare for this moment before enlightenment occurs?

Zen Buddhism, emphasize on don’t known mind, every thing don’t known.
Every thing comes into one, waiting for the moment.

Theravada Buddhism, emphasize on the mindfulness on the 6 sense base,
Every thing is not distract from mindfulness,
Example: watching the stomach rising and falling, mind attach to the moment
Glue to Stomach, on every moment or any other part of the body.
The conscious start to fatigue, closing on the right brain and slowing to the left
Brain, then it’s reflex or vibrate and shock the brain, there by release a mindfulness which result the enlightenment factors occurs.

Tibetan Buddhism also practice silence of the mind by certain method,
They start to investigate the mind and matter into realize the emptiness.
Example: There is no rising or create because don’t have 4 elements to create 4
Element, result no creation or rising.
This 4 element can’t cease, vanish and fall, result no ceasing, vanish and fall.
Thus they realize emptiness and break all concept, as mind maintain at don't mind.

All are quite similar, there require silence of mind, and have emptiness as
Key factor.
All also reach the level of closing the right brain and left brain, after fatigue of the
Brain, waiting for right timing likes a big bang or other.


Buddha said many type, so choose one that is suitable and easy.
Middle way, slow and steady, were reach enlightenment.
