Zen Buddhism– "meditation." – teaches that enlightenment is achieved

through the realization that one is already an enlightened being. This awakening can happen gradually or in a flash of insight

– But in either case, it is the result of one's own efforts. Deities and scriptures can offer only limited assistance.
