likewise, the phrase 'profound enlightenment' or 'satori' or 'kensho,'

or any of these phrases are big lies. but they are skillful lies. if

people are stubborn as a mule, you have to beat them and then they

practice! or if others like candy, candy is offered. 'enlightenment'

is only a teaching word. 'enlightenment,' that's bullshit. 'profound

enlightenment,' that's elephant shit! 'deep, profound enlightenment,'

that's rhinoceros shit! but it helps some people, so it is medicine.

the problem is that if you get too attached to the notion of it, or

think that practice has to always be fierce and hard and difficult in

order to get some moment of profound breakthrough, then that stands in

your way like a big iron gate.
