Satori (Japanese: 悟り) is a Japanese Buddhist term for "awakening", "comprehension; understanding". [1] The word derives from the Japanese verb satoru. [2] [3]In the Zen Buddhist tradition, satori refers to a deep experience of kenshō, [4] [5] "seeing into one's true nature".
Buddhahood (Sanskrit: buddhatva; Pali: buddhatta or buddhabhāva; Chinese: 成佛) is the condition and state of a buddha.

Kundalini is a latent power in the higher body. When awakened, it pierces through six chakras or functional centers and activates them. Without a master, the awakening of the kundalini cannot take anyone very far on the Path; and such indiscriminate or premature awakening is fraught with dangers of self-deception as well as the misuse of powers.
It is not a personal name, but a title for those who have attained bodhi (awakening, enlightenment).

In Buddhism, the Seven Factors of Awakening (Pali: satta bojjhaṅgā or satta sambojjhaṅgā; Skt.: sapta bodhyanga) are: Mindfulness (sati, Sanskrit smṛti). To maintain awareness of reality, in particular the teachings (Dhamma). Investigation of the nature of reality (dhamma vicaya, Skt. dharmapravicaya). Equanimity (upekkhā, Skt. upekshā).
Another related possibility pointed out by K.R. Norman and others is that satta carries the meaning of śakta, and so bodhisatta means "capable of enlightenment." [157] The Sanskrit term sattva may mean "strength, energy, vigour, power, courage" and therefore, bodhisattva could also mean "one whose energy and power is directed towards bodhi". [158]
