Yes, no enlightenment to show. It's not an object to be shown. On the other hand I could make you a cup of tea. ;o)

From: "Rev Genryu"> Yes, stick to your ideas of what Zen is. Much safer that way. Much better to avoid a reality that you personally don't like, than to risk giving up your illusions. You won't wake up of course, but at least you might have some pleasant dreams before your life ends. ;o) > Look at you, so full of reality, and yet no enlightenment to show for it. That is your reality. Enlightenment is not a credit card. You cannot spend it before you have it. And it is pure illusion to talk about something that you can only imagine. You live in an illusion as much as anyone else.
