Greetings, Dan, David and Andre, I really don't know anything about Zen Buddhism, but in Buddhism there seem to be two ways to attain Buddhahood: gradual awakening or sudden enlightenment. I think somewhere RMP states that his experience was described by a Buddhist as one of the 'sudden enlightenment' kind. Possibly the path to the DQ experience might be said to be possible from different directions.
