    Joshu is a very rare case. Joshu had become a
    priest when he was still a child and experienced
    his first satori when he was seventeen. He said
    of this experience: "Suddenly, I was ruined and
    homeless."

    This statement, after having the first glimpse of
    enlightenment, is of tremendous significance.

    He says, "Suddenly I was ruined. Whatever I
    was before, is all ruined. I was not that. I had
    cultivated a personality, a mind, a heart --
    nothing of that was me. The satori left me
    suddenly ruined and homeless. The home that
    I had made for myself according to the rules of
    the society, amongst the crowd, a cozy place...
    enlightenment, just the first glimpse of it, has
    taken away all. I am standing alone, homeless,
    shattered, ruined."

    But this is only one part of the experience...
