We can see, with what is described in CC's books, how much mystical knowledge
is not mentionned in Buddhist texts. It seems that a certain secrecy was observed
when dealing with the true nature of reality and enlightment in buddhism.
That is why, Boddhidarma talks about the direct experience of reality
as a way of knowledge. Just as the seers got their experience from seeing directly
the energy in the universe. No book can replace, the moment when a sorcerer, a mystic,
shifts his normal existance to a supernatural existance,
when he make a leap and evolves to something more than human.
This special knowledge, not found in scriptures,
was what the buddha attained under the Bodhi tree.
In Zen, it is called Satori.
