My understanding is limited, but I thought that enlightenment was a buddhist term used to describe significant subjective perceptual changes which are more likely to occur with enough quality meditation practice. I was under the impression that there are thousands of people alive today, in various traditions like Zen, who claim to have experienced these changes in perception in various guises.
a truly enlightened being can point out things in reality exactly as they are and can tell the law of how the world works.
Is this derived from a particular definition of enlightenment? I'm not really familiar with the buddhist religious texts etc.
