"Our practice of zazen [meditation] is itself enlightenment.
In that
sense, this is very sudden.
When we sit, enlightenment is there.
But we
still need to continue this practice endlessly,
so that within the
process of practice,
we become a deeply matured person,
and that is very
gradual. So in our practice,
both gradual and sudden enlightenment are
there."
