I take a vow to enlighten them all

A message from Sidi Ali Zhuiqan. In the heart of Putrajaya west lake precints, there exist a zen sufic retreat in year of 2014. It had preparatory work, reopened its activities and aims to foster the understanding of Tawhid and Sufism.

Among the means used to this end are translation from Old texts, the glorious Quran, Prophetic Traditions, Zen works and Confucian masters discourses. For future, it planned to bring a true Teacher from West, a Chinese Monk and a Zen Master from Japan.

We quote from First Zen Notes
dated June 1956, Berlin
by Wang Tsing Lung:

Sentient beings are numberless
I take a vow to enlighten them all.

Worldly desires are endless.
I take a vow to uproot them all.

The gates of Mercy-Rahmat are manifold.
I take a vow to enter them all.

The goal of Wisdom-Marifa is ever beyond.
I take a vow to attain it.

Attaining satori

Satori is considered a "first step" or embarkation toward nirvana:

Ch'an expressions refer to enlightenment as "seeing your self-nature". But even this is not enough. After seeing your self-nature, you need to deepen your experience even further and bring it into maturation. You should have enlightenment experience again and again and support them with continuous practice. Even though Ch'an says that at the time of enlightenment, your outlook is the same as of the Buddha, you are not yet a full Buddha.^[7]

The student's mind must be prepared by rigorous study, with the use of koans, and the practice of meditation to concentrate the mind, under the guidance of a teacher. Koans are short anecdotes of verbal exchanges between teachers and students, typically of the Song dynasty, dealing with Buddhist teachings. The Rinzai-school utilizes classic collections of koans such as the Gateless Gate. The Gateless Gate was assembled by the early 13th-century Chinese Zen master Wumen Hui-k'ai (無門慧開).

Wumen himself struggled for six years with koan "Zhaozhou’s dog", assigned to him by Yuelin Shiguan (月林師觀; Japanese: Gatsurin Shikan) (1143–1217), before attaining kenshō. After his understanding had been confirmed by Yuelin, Wumen wrote the following enlightenment poem:

A thunderclap under the clear blue sky
All beings on earth open their eyes;
Everything under heaven bows together;
Mount Sumeru leaps up and dances.
