What does the epiphany of Zen give us?

The epiphany of Zen Buddhism became Buddha. This awakening is actually subverting the imagination and knowledge of secular people. For example, what we think is true is false and illusory to those who realize it. In other words, we unconscious people often regard impermanence as eternity and virtual death as reality.

Although everyone has his own value standard, it is self-awareness, not truth. In other words, it is inverted and bitter in Buddhism to measure everything perceived by the standard of self-cognition. Only after awakening can life truly awaken. In other words, only after awakening can you really be yourself.

Extended data:

Zen has always been called the study of life in China. Therefore, the so-called study of Zen is actually to explore the truth of life, that is, the so-called "epiphany". This is the truth and essence of life, and this is the essence of "epiphany".

In China's Zen Buddhism, although there is also the shadow of enlightenment, its essence and purpose are the same, that is, the awakening of life; But in reality, few people can "suddenly realize". Although it is recorded in the Record of Fingering the Moon that someone has "realized three times and realized dozens of times", it is actually not enlightenment, but it can only be regarded as enlightenment and understanding at most. Because truly conscious people will be confused, and they will be confused when they see it right. He is a wise man, but a wise man is not confused. He is no longer confused. In other words, he saw the truth, the truth of life.
