In Christianity, Islam, Hinduism a sacred experience is to be confronted with the deity or an angel or similar who does something special. In Buddhism there are none of these - no deities, no devils, no angels - so a scared experience is impossible to experience.
In general Buddhists can achieve enlightenment which is that instant when all the pieces of the puzzle of living your life right click into place and you internalize them. Zen Buddhism would call this "satori" (Japenese for 'awakening")
It is special.
It's not sacred.
