From a historical perspective, we understand that the Buddha was a real person, present as evidence of the journey of initiation. He was not a legendary figure with fanciful powers or supernatural abilities. He was someone who went before us, someone who recognized the truth. These are the truth of suffering, its causes, its cessation, and the path leading to ultimate happiness.
4 seemingly simple things that explain everything in life. And we ourselves, if we recognize the truth through our own experience, are also awakened ones — Buddhas.
May you always find peace and joy on the journey of connecting with the Buddha within!
