	Three types of Buddha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the Buddhist tradition, a Buddha is a being who has, through individual effort and wisdom, awoken to the Dharma (Pāli Dhamma), seen through appearances, abandoned and overcome anger, desire, and ignorance and attained liberation from suffering (nirvāṇa, Pāli nibbāna).
		All three types of Buddha achieve Nirvāṇa, and may be called Arhats, or foe destroyers, but within the Mahāyāna tradition some people reserve the term Arhat for Sravaka Buddhas.
		The historical Buddha, Śākyamuni, is considered a Samyaksambuddha.

	Buddha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lotus Sutra has the Buddha indicating that he became awakened countless, immeasurable, inconceivable myriads of trillions of aeons ("kalpas") ago and that his lifetime is "forever existing and immortal".
		The Buddha comments there: "I say that those who do not know that the Tathagata [Buddha] is eternal are the foremost of the congenitally blind." This view, it should be noted, is typically not found in mainstream Theravada Buddhism.

		Buddha (Sanskrit, Pali, others: literally Awakened One, Enlightened One, from the Sanskrit: √budh, "to awaken") or "The Buddha" is a title given to anyone who has rediscovered enlightenment (Bodhi), though it is commonly used to refer to "The Buddha" Siddhartha Gautam.
		A Buddha is one who rediscovers the Dharma (that is, truth; the nature of reality, of the mind, of the affliction of the human condition and the correct "path" to liberation) by Enlightenment, which comes to be after skillful or good karma (action) is perfectly maintained and all negative unskillful actions are abandoned.
		Hence the Gautam Buddha is one member of a spiritual lineage of Buddhas going back to the dim past and forward into the distant future,who among the rest is the most recognized and followed,being him the only documented one.He was born in Lumbini in the Himalayan Kingdom of Nepal.

		Buddha, however, was not an atheist in the sense that he denied the existence of the gods.
		The exception is the story of Buddha's conversion from the worldly life of a prince to the life of an ascetic, which was transformed by some Oriental Christian of the seventh century into the popular medieval tale of "Barlaam and Josaphat".

	Buddha - (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-11)
		Of those who sought to put the Buddha's teaching into practice, many left their lives as householders to become members of a community (sangha) of disciples (bhikkhus) bound by a common code of discipline (the patimokkha) designed by the Buddha to create the most conducive conditions for mind-body transformation.
		There are traditionally three types of Buddha, the most important of which is the Samma Sammbuddha (Skt, Samyaksam Buddha) or Universal Buddha.
		A Pacceka Buddha (Skt, Pratekya Buddha) is someone who has become enlightened purely through his or her own wisdom (without the instruction of a Universal Buddha) but who has no cannot or chooses not to teach the Dharma to others.

		Gautama Buddha stated that there is no intermediary between mankind and the divine; distant gods are subject to karma themselves in decaying heavens.
		According to Gautama Buddha, the Awakened bliss of Nirvana he attained is available to all beings, although orthodoxy holds that one must first be born as a human being.

	The Sick and Terminally Ill
		On another occasion the Buddha discovered a monk whose body was covered with sores, his robe sticking to the body with pus oozing from the sores.
		Thus the Buddha not only advocated the importance of looking after the sick, he also set a noble example by himself ministering to those who were so ill that they were even considered repulsive by others.
		Then the Buddha advised him to be established in those virtues and develop the six qualities conducive to understanding, namely, the perception of the impermanence of all component things, the unsatisfactoriness of all that is impermanent, the egolessness of what is unsatisfactory, the perception of elimination, detachment and cessation.

		At the same time, from the point of view of the Nirmanakaya, we can say that the Buddha was born in such and such a place, and he went through such and such a practice, and when eventually he attained nirvana, he introduced the three yanas and other teachings.
		Whether one is a buddha or a being thrown into the turmoil of a hell realm, the presence of the substratum or matrix of Dharmakaya is the same, and this undifferentiated state is the basic source for all of our conscious experiences.
		When the Buddha encouraged or inspired someone else, such as Avalokiteshvara, to act as his mouthpiece, such a teaching had the same authority as if it were given by the Buddha, and such teachings are also called ka.

		Though a strict disciplinarian, the Buddha has shown great sympathy and understanding to those who are ill. The value of health has been fully realized and it is even recognized as the greatest gain (arogyaparama labha, Dhp.204).
		The monk replied that the Buddha does not preach the doctrine for purity of virtue, but for detachment from lust (ragaviragatthaya).

		Therefore, Siddhartha Gautama who was born in Kapila Palace was already a Buddha at the time of his birth, but in order to show us that we could become Buddhas like him, he renounced his kingdom and practiced many religious exercises and meditation; as the result, he became a Buddha.
		The physical Buddha who was born in India (Present Nepal) passed away, so we cannot see him or hear from him; however, the Original Buddha exists in Dharma.
		Just as the physical body of the doctor could not cure the sickness but rather it was the remedy that cured the poor children, the Buddha's teachings, the teaching of the Lotus Sutra, is continuing to cure the people in the declining latter age of the law.

		Of course, in Mahayana, if the three negative actions of one’s body (killing, stealing, and sexual misconduct) and the four negative actions of one’s speech (lying, gossip, slander, and harsh speech) are performed in order to benefit sentient beings, then they are permitted by Buddha.
		When a practitioner of highest tantra, on the basis of the lamrim, guru devotion, and the three principles of the path, directs his or her actions as a cause to achieve enlightenment, then at that time one can take a different path to that of severe discipline.
		The practitioner can use a skilful means to create the conditions that directs one toward enlightenment, such as using the 64 arts of love as a condition to use desire on the path, using it to realize emptiness as the foundation, without losing one’s seed.

		The Lotus Sutra is the teaching that affirms that all living beings have the BUddha nature be they man or women and have the ability to actualize it and live by its wisdom in this lifetime thereby obtaining unspeakable spiritual blessings and a flourishment of innner insight and wisdom.
		NO living being outside of this wisdom could ever destroy this truth so speaking ill against it only returns to the person who commits the act.
		The essential teaching of the Lotus Sutra is the true object of Buddha Wisdom, it is the wisdom ever kept in mind by the three types of Buddha's', Shakyamuni BUddha (self), Many Treasures Buddha (other) and the Buddha's of the Ten Directions (environment).
