Different methods of attaining awakening

Master Kosen – Published on October 26 – enlightenment

Question

Speaking only of Buddhism, the different schools offer different methods of attaining awakening, the ultimate state in each school. Dzogchen speaks of a Body of Light, Zen of satori—I mention only two examples to get straight to the point. These states are that of Buddha, the complete Buddha, empty and full. Yet although the state is the same, the forms differ. Why? Or is it really the same state? Thank you.

An infinity of states, a new satori at every moment.
