Who Is The Buddha?
The BUDDHA, by cultivating, developing purified His mind. He gained Enlightenment. Many people actually do not know what is Enlightenment very loosely they use this word Enlightenment. So, One day, when the Buddha was going somewhere, He met a Bramin. I think you know the meaning of Bramin. Hindu, Priest, teacher, master, (Guru) or everything. They are called Bramana. He has never seen another human being like this person so he could not believe that this is a human being.
He came and asked may I know whether you are a God.
Others try to claim they are God, the messenger of God, son of God.
The Buddha says “No, I am not a God.”
Then he asked, in that case, May I know whether you are any other form of supernatural living beings.
He says (the Buddha) “No, I am very natural.”
Then he asked, in that case, are you an ordinary human being?
“No”
Now confusing in his mind who this person is. Then he asked who are you. The Buddha gave this answer. This answer is very important for us to know to understand who the Buddha is. If somebody comes and asks you “Now, You follow the Buddha, Can you tell me actually who the Buddha is?” But I don’t think you can give the correct answer. You say something.
This self introduction given by the Buddha is very meaningful. We can understand why He is called Enlightened One.
He says in His own language.
"အဘိိေဥယ်ံ၊ အဘိဥာတံ။
ဘာေ၀တဗၺံစ ဘာ၀ိတံ။
“I understood everything that which exists in this universe. I have practiced all the great qualities virtues, moral, principles, and good qualities in this world. I have eradicated uprooted all the wicked, cruel, harmful, immoral, thoughts words and actions, Therefore, I am not a God, not an angel, not an ordinary man, I AM A BUDDHA. This is the meaning of the BUDDHA or ENLIGHTENMENT.”
