If you mention the word "enlightenment" then I can only relate it to what I learnt from my religion, Buddhism, since that is where the term has been taken from. I'm aware of no other form of enlightenment than Buddhist enlightenment. I'm not sure how you want me to relate to the word outside of a Buddhist context. > I like buddhists in their original countries a lot, shiny glowing people regardless of their often hard lives, westerns lost wannabes eternally looking for salvation usually not so much. You are too ignorant to comment on such things. All Buddhist are "wannabes eternally looking for salvation", that's the whole point of Buddhism, that we want to become a Buddha and save ourselves and others from suffering. Most Buddhists in the world are Pure Land Buddhists, so they pray to Amida Buddha so they can be reborn in his Western Pure Land. I recommend to just use a different word than enlightenment and avoid getting so involved in something you clearly know very little about.
