Enlightenment

The difference between gradual enlightenment and sudden enlightenment

"Gradual enlightenment and sudden enlightenment serve the same purpose. As long as one becomes enlightened, it is good. It depends on one's karmic capacity whether one will attain gradual or sudden enlightenment. After attaining enlightenment one still has to practice so as to achieve the state of perfect buddhahood.
