Enlightenment is neither a sudden nor spontaneous state of being. Author Ryuho Okawa explains that enlightenment must be worked on and maintained throughout one's lifetime. Okawa also criticizes the "sudden enlightenment" of Zen Buddhism and explains how work ability and enlightenment are interrelated. In this book, Ryuho Okawa, known as the living Buddha, also reveals the moment of his Great Enlightenment in 1981.
