You really have no idea right here.
The enlightening experience is characterized in Chan Buddhism as a
breaking free of the so-called ordinary thought patterns, to realize the
non-duality of one’s personal experience. One of the best expressions of
non-duality is this quote from the Platform sutra:
"Within your own natures the ten thousand things
will all appear, for all things of themselves are within your own
natures. Given a name, this is the pure Dharmakaya Buddha."
The Dharmakaya Buddha, or the formless body of the Buddha that permeates
through all things, can also be named the “Cause of all causes,” or
“First Cause,” or “The Prime Infinity.” It is in this body that the
whole of existence is manifested in all its glorious, yet fleeting,
transitoriness. All the forms that surround us, whether or not we can
sense them, are part and parcel of our own nature. When you suddenly
open your eyes to look, there is only your own nature to see, wherever
the eyes may be directed.

Ah, ha. Now you need to make a value claim.
