It takes as long as it takes. The course to enlightenment can takes many thousands of lifetimes. However the person who is presently a Zen Buddhist may have been through these reincarnations already and learned from them and may be ready to become enlightened. This does not however mean he is going to Nirvana as the enlightened may opt to return to the cycle o death and rebirth to enlighten others.
