Buddha-Dharma does not mean individual liberation. That is why Shakyamuni Buddha said: "I and every living thing on this earth attain the Way simultaneously - the mountains, the rivers, the grasses and trees all become buddha.” Trying to have “your own personal satori” has nothing to do with Buddha-Dharma.
