In Zen the enlightenment is most often seen as coming in a sudden burst, like suddenly getting a subtle joke and bursting out laughing a long time aftter the joke is told. This is called "Satori". The word means "understanding." A lesser or preliminary form of satorri is "Kensho" Using the analogy of the joke again, this is the point where you understand that the subtle joke had a deeper meaning but can't quite put your finger on it.
In both cases the enlightenment is that point in time where things all come together.
