There are many names for enlightened people. They are great, strong, clever, pious, old, wise and so on. All of this is wrong for the opposite is also true.
There is no description, no truth in Buddhism the Koans point out again and again. Only Zen-master make you believe in enlightenment...

Traditional Commentaries and .... Poems (Gata)
Mumon's comment: Shogen spoke plainly enough, but how many will understand?
If anyone comprehends, he should come to my place and test out my big stick.
Why, look here, to test real gold you must see it through fire.
Wumen says: Songyuan may think he pours out his intestines and empties his stomach, but he is a yawning man shouldering the responsibility.
Although, in spite of the fact one is direct and bends down to shoulder the responsibility,
it is proper and good to come to Wumen’s place and suffer the pain of the stick.
Why? To urge you who desire to know genuine gold to look within the fire.

The Gata
If the feet of enlightenment moved, the great ocean would overflow;
If that head bowed, it would look down upon the heavens.
Such a body has no place to rest...
Let another continue this poem.
Lifting the feet to walk over rivers and oceans,
Lowering the head to overlook the four Dhyana heavens,
One single complete body without location manifests,
. . . Please, continue this one line.
