Guest guest Posted September 6, 2001 Report Share Posted September 6, 2001 Who the Buddhas are All the beings of the universe are already realized. That is, with the exception of one or two beings. In those rare cases the cities, villages,meadows, and forests, with all their birds, flowers, animals, rivers, trees, and humans, that surround such a person, all collaborate to educate, serve, challenge, and instruct such a one, until that person also becomes a New Beginner Enlightened Being. Recently realized beings are enthusiastic to teach and train and start schools and practices. Being able to do this develops their confidence and insight up to the point that they are fully ready to join the seamless world of interdependent play. Such new enlightened beings are called " Buddhas " and they like to say things like " I am enlightened together with the whole universe " and so forth. —Gary Snyder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
