Who Is Lord Buddha by Dr K Sri Dhammananda Thero
Understand Lord Buddha. The Buddha, by cultivating, developing, purifying his mind he gained Enlightenment. Many people don't know what is Enlightenment. Very uselessly they use this word Enlightenment. According to his own explanation "I understood everything that we exist in this word. I have practice all the great qualities, virtues morals principles and good qualities in this world. I have eradicated uprooted all the wickets cruel harmful immoral thought words and accent. There for I'm not a god, not an angel, not an ordinary man. I am the Buddha. This is the meaning of Buddha or Enlightenment. Buddha is not his name. Buddha is the person who got the supreme Enlightenment. That person is called the Buddha. So you can understand how difficult it is for a person to develop his mind to know everything that witch exist in this universe. He has not done this withing one life time. Life after life by practicing paramee or perfection, he went cultivating developing knowing understanding all the existing thing. He did not want to introduce religion. He did not want to introduce Buddhism. He wanted to introduce how to lead respectable, harmless noble life. That is the main purpose of his massage.
