| | Religious cults and sects - Zen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | Zen teaches that the Buddha-nature, or potential to achieve enlightenment, is inherent in everyone but lies dormant because of ignorance. |
 | | It is best awakened not by the study of scriptures, the practice of good deeds, rites and ceremonies, or worship of images but by a sudden breaking through of the boundaries of common, everyday, logical thought. |
 | | Zen Buddhists seeks salvation by experiencing satori, which is the Japanese term for enlightenment. |
