Kensho
Kensho (Jap., ‘seeing nature’). The Zen experience of enlightenment, when one's own nature is seen for what it truly is, not to be differentiated from the buddha-nature. It is thus indistinguishable from satori, but the latter is used of the Buddha or of the Zen patriarchs, kensho of the initial experience of others which still needs to be deepened. The term also applies collectively to those who have attained this state, the wise (genjo).
