1.Enlightenment makes the mankind"s center turn from God to reason.
2.Enlightenment is not knowledge on the conceptual level, nor can it be conveyed by descriptive information made available in the community.
3.Enlightenment occurs the revelation of the self as that which knows and feels, even though for the Chan Buddhist the revelation of the self or mind in fact is the revelation of self as no-self or mind as no-mind. For the self as revealed would not pertain to any knowledge, any desire or any activity. It is as Hui Neng says: a matter of no thought (wunian 無念), no form (wuxiang 無相) and no abiding (wuzhu 無住).
以上幾個例句均證明enlightenment為單數名詞，動詞應做第三人稱單數的變化。
