Sudden.  It can be prepared for by purification and practice.

It is maintained by continuous practice, which is now different than before 
awakening.  You might say that such practice after awakening is gradual, but I 
call it continuous, and call it maintenance.  Or, just "our life".

Thanks!; simple question, simple answer.  Good to see you, there.
