：
tongyō (Jap, sudden enlightenment). In zen Buddhism, the attainment of enlightenment (satori) as a sudden event, as taught by the Southern School of Ch'an Buddhism (Chinese, Nan-tsung-ch'an). This is in contrast to the slower path of gradual training (zengyō) taught by the Northern School (Chinese, Pei-tsung).
