The Realisation of Emptiness in Zen Satori: A Narrative Review

Happiness and the Psychology of Enlightenment [Working Title]

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This narrative review scrutinises the Zen-Buddhist concept of satori (enlightenment), critiquing its theoretical foundations in the literature, as well as comparing it to other Buddhist-frameworks, particularly Tibetan Dzogchen. Via a framework seeking conceptual coherence, interpretations of satori are explicated to place satori contextually in both the literature, historical milieu and Buddhist-philosophical tenet. In the Chan Buddhist tradition, śūnyatā (emptiness or voidness) is a crucial pretext for the satori transcendence experience sown in transcending all dualities. This is echoed in the Zen pursuit of complete nothingness of both being and non-being. Once purified of delusion, satori is to awaken to the origin of liberation, karma and dharma – no longer bound by the predicaments of worldly dualism or limitations imposed by vocabulary and language. In the same way tranquillity of the mind is experienced as bliss in kenshõ, satori, Dzogchen or rigpa — states of oneness are described as eudemonic (inducing happiness). When unconstrained by its inexplicability, satori emerges as a bridge of expansion from the self (stifled by ignorance and delusion) towards reformulation of self-concept (nonself) into blissful transcendence.
