Difference between kensho, satori, samadhi?
Or other enlightenment states.
I thought I knew but now I think I don't.
Anyone with knowledge on this?

Samadhi is a Sankrit word meaning to establish or make firm.
Jap. sanmai or zanmai.
Collectedness of the mind on a single object thru gradual calming of mental activity.
Samadhi is a nondualistic state of consciousness in which the consciousness of the experienced subject becomes one with the experienced object.
This state of consciousness is refered to as "one pointedness of mind".

Satori;
The experience of awakening or enlightenment; comprehension of unity of all things.
Satori is reserved for the Buddha.
Kensho refers to pre-enlightenment moments of self-realization.
