Satori Jap. ; Zen term for the experience of awakening (enlightenment). The word derives from the verb satoru, “to know”; however, it has nothing to do with “knowledge” in the ordinary or philosophical sense, because in the experience of enlightenment there is no distinction between knower and known. The word kensho is also often used as a synonym for satori.
