The highest fruit of Buddhist practice. Buddha is a transliteration of Sanskrit, abbreviated as Buddha, also translated as Floating Tu or Floating Tu, originally meaning consciousness. Consciousness has three layers of meaning: one is self-awareness, which is the so-called self-awareness of nature; The second is called Jueta, which is the so-called way of judging people; The third is to feel the fulfillment of one's actions. Those who possess these three points of enlightenment can be called Buddhas. It is said that at the age of 35, Shakyamuni had a great enlightenment, insight into the true essence of the universe and life, gained enlightenment, and began to proclaim the true meaning of his enlightenment to the public. He was known as the "Buddha". So, Buddha or Buddha often became synonymous with Shakyamuni, but Shakyamuni was not the only one named after Buddha.

（1） Refers to Shakyamuni.
（2） The one who realizes and understands all the teachings of the three lifetimes, that is, the one who is conscious, aware of others, and fully conscious in their actions. But according to the scriptures, there are ten Buddhas (East, West, South, North, Southeast, Southwest, Northeast, Northwest, Upper and Lower) of three lifetimes (past, present, and future). In the past, there were Buddhas such as the Burning Lamp Buddha, and in the future, there will be Buddhas such as Maitreya Buddha appearing. Ten directions, such as the famous Eastern Amitabha Buddha and the Western Amitabha Buddha. The interpretation of Volume 15 of the Mahayana Sutra states that all Buddhas share the same Dharma body, and that all Buddhas in the three lifetimes and ten directions are also known as one Great Dharma Body Buddha. Furthermore, due to the fact that all sentient beings possess Buddha nature, there are theories such as' the mind Buddha and all sentient beings are three indistinguishable ',' the body becomes Buddha immediately ', or' the mind becomes Buddha immediately '. Furthermore, there is a theory that' all plants, trees, and land become Buddha when understood '.

In the Pali scriptures of Buddhism, there is often a mention of a wanderer named Po Kuo Zhong. Once, Po Kuo Zhong came to the Buddha's place and asked:
"Dear Gautama, do I have God?"
The Buddha remained silent and did not answer.
"So, revered Gautama, do we not have gods?"
Buddha still remains silent.
In the era of Buddha, there were many wanderers like Vajrayana who argued with others for the sake of debate, often using metaphysical questions to argue with others. Ten famous metaphysical questions are:
1、 Issues related to the universe
Is the universe eternal?
Isn't the universe eternal?
Is the universe finite?
Is the universe infinite?

2、 Questions related to psychology
Is body and mind the same thing?
6. Is the body a thing, and the heart another thing?
3、 The Realm of Buddha's Enlightenment
Does the Tathagata continue to exist after death?
Does the Tathagata no longer exist after death?
9. Does the Tathagata exist and do not exist at the same time after death?
10. Does the Tathagata neither exist nor do they exist after death?
The Buddha did not answer the metaphysical questions discussed above, so whenever someone asked him these questions, the Buddha remained silent.
Why didn't Buddha answer these metaphysical questions?

Firstly, these issues have little to do with the teachings of the Buddha. The Buddha emphasized the three principles of precepts, stillness, and wisdom, as well as the impermanence of all actions, the selflessness of all phenomena, and the suffering of all phenomena with leakage. The Buddha has said more than once, "Bhikkhus, the Dharma I speak of is only two things: suffering and the cessation of suffering (i.e., Nirvana). Humanity is full of pain, and our urgent task is to remove pain. Therefore, I explain these Dharma because they are useful and have a fundamental relationship with the practice of the mind and body of Brahma. They can be detestable, devoid of attachment, and enter into extinction, achieving tranquility, contemplation, and Nirvana. Therefore, I explain these Dharma..." Among the ten metaphysical questions mentioned above, the first four questions are about the duration and breadth of the universe, which is cosmology and has little to do with the teachings of the Buddha. Whether the world is eternal or non eternal, finite or infinite, they are not beneficial for humanity's liberation from pain.
The next two questions are related to physical and mental aspects. According to the teachings of Buddha, all phenomena have no self, and this is one of the three Dharma seals. The last few questions are about the realm of Buddha's enlightenment. The extraordinary realm of Buddha's enlightenment can only be achieved through practice. For ordinary people, they will never understand this transcendent realm, even if the Buddha explains it to them. So the metaphysical questions mentioned above have little to do with the teachings of the Buddha. They have nothing to do with the practice of the mind and body. They cannot be disliked, detached, or extinguished, achieving tranquility, deep contemplation, and nirvana. Therefore, the Buddha did not answer these questions. So whenever someone asks the Buddha these metaphysical questions, the Buddha always remains silent.

Secondly, metaphysical problems can lead people astray and lead them astray.
During the time of Buddha, a monk named Mantongzi suddenly got up and went to the Buddha's place during his afternoon meditation. After bowing, he sat down on the side and said, "Master, I was sitting alone and suddenly had a thought: There are ten questions that you have never given us a clear explanation. Whenever people ask you these questions, you always put them aside and remain silent. I don't like this practice. Master, if you explain these ten questions clearly to me today, I will continue to practice Brahma. If you continue to remain silent on these questions, I will lose faith and no longer practice Brahma." If you know that the world is eternal, please explain it to me like this. If the universe is not eternal, why? If you don't know these questions, just say, 'I don't know.' "
The Buddha said, "Manzi, if a person is injured by a poisonous arrow, his relatives and friends will take him to see a surgeon. If that person had said, 'I don't want to pull out this poisonous arrow unless I know who shot me, whether he is tall, short, or of medium build; his skin color is black, white, brown, or golden; and he comes from which city or village.' I don't want to take out this poisonous arrow unless I know what kind of bow I was shot with, what kind of bow string it is, which type of arrow, what kind of hair the arrow is made of, and what material the arrow cluster is made of... Manzi, this person has long been understanding these answers before." He will die. Similarly, if someone says, "I will not follow the Buddha's practice of Brahma unless he answers questions such as whether the universe is eternal," that person has already passed away before receiving the answer to the Tathagata. "As life is short, if someone is constantly troubled by these metaphysical questions, relentlessly pursuing and rooting for the source, they will go astray and ultimately achieve nothing.

Again, due to the limitations of language, ordinary people are unable to understand these issues through language.
Language is created by humans to express the things, experiences, thoughts, and emotions that humans experience through their senses and minds. It represents symbols of things and ideas that we are familiar with. It is limited to time, space, and the law of origin, and language cannot go beyond these boundaries. In other words, humans can only express one thing or one realm through language within the limits allowed by time, space, and the law of origin. Sometimes, human language is not even sufficient to represent the true characteristics of everyday things. For example, experience tells us that sometimes we have a passion or feeling that cannot be expressed in words. The saying goes, "Just like a person drinking water, they know their own temperature.". So human language is not omnipotent, it has certain limitations. In terms of understanding the truth, language cannot be very accurate and prone to errors. Because absolute truth (such as Nirvana) transcends the limitations of time, space, and the laws of origin, humans can only personally comprehend it, and it is impossible to describe it in language, that is, the so-called cessation of the mind and the cessation of speech. In fact, these questions can never be fully and satisfactorily answered through language and writing, and no language or writing can express this experience. Just like in the vocabulary of fish, there is no word to describe land. For example, the turtle told his friend the fish that it had just walked on land and returned to the water. The fish said, "Of course, what you mean is swimming." The turtle wanted to explain to the fish that land is hard and cannot swim on it. It can only walk on it. But the fish insists that there cannot be such a thing. Land must also be liquid, just like the lake it lives in, with waves that allow it to jump, dive, and swim on. Similarly, in the vocabulary of ordinary mortals, it is impossible to find appropriate words and phrases to describe Nirvana. But currently, many people use the most beautiful words in the world to describe the sublime realm of Nirvana, and some even rack their brains to discuss the wonderful realm of the Buddha after his ascension. The result, as stated in the Lengha Sutra, is that fools cling to language and writing, like elephants trapped in a quagmire, unable to extricate themselves.
Finally, teaching according to the machine and aptitude is the Buddha's method of educating sentient beings. Buddha is not a computer. No matter what kind of questions someone asks, he will answer them without thinking. He is a teacher who values practical benefits and is full of compassion and wisdom. He is not answering questions to show off his knowledge, but to help the questioner embark on the path of enlightenment. When he speaks to others, he always remembers their level, inclination, roots, personality, and ability to understand a certain issue.

According to Buddha, there are four ways to deal with problems:
When the questions are more direct, obvious, and avoid metaphysical questions, these questions must be answered directly. For example, what is the cause of suffering?
2. Some questions must be answered through analytical methods, such as whether Buddhism is idealism or materialism?
3. There are also some questions that must be answered with rhetorical questions.
4. There is a type of question that must be answered with silence. For example, when someone asks the Buddha questions about metaphysics, the Buddha often remains silent.
Perhaps some people may ask, can Buddha answer the ten metaphysical questions mentioned above? Let's not draw any conclusions for now, but one thing is certain: the Buddha knows much more Dharma than what he said.
Once, when the Buddha passed by a corpse shed in the forest of Kawakami (now near Allahabat, India), he took a few leaves and put them in his hand. He asked his disciples, "Bhikkhus, what do you think? Do I have many leaves in my hand, or are there many leaves in this forest?" "Lord, you only have a few leaves in your hand, but there are countless leaves in this corpse shed forest."

"Similarly, the Dharma I know is like a leaf in a forest of corpses, and what I have already told you is like a leaf in my hand, only a little bit. There are still many Dharma that I have not spoken of! And why did I not speak of those Dharma for you? Because they are useless and cannot guide people to attain Nirvana. That is why I did not speak of those Dharma."
In summary, Buddhism opposes the enthusiasm for discussing metaphysical issues and advocates a pragmatic spirit. However, currently there are a few self proclaimed Buddhist scholars who disregard the practical needs of modern society and speak eloquently, talking about Buddhism in both mystical and mystical ways, sometimes in the sky and sometimes underground. Of course, it is not impossible for us to study the abstract and profound theories in Buddhism, but being overly entangled in them would be biased. So, in terms of promoting Buddhism, we should also learn from the Buddha, combine with the needs of today's real society, speak more simple and easy to understand Buddhism that has a guiding effect on daily life, and speak less hollow and mysterious words.
Buddha, this is a transliteration of the ancient Sanskrit word Buddha in India.
Also translated as "Buddha's burden", "Buddha's burden", "Buddha's burden", "Buddha's burden", "Buddha's burden", "Buddha's burden", "Buddha's burden", etc. It is translated as "the awakened", "the knowledgeable", "the wise", and "the awakened". There are three meanings of consciousness: self-awareness, self-awareness (enlightening sentient beings), and perfection in self-awareness (complete enlightenment, ultimately perfection), which are the highest fruits of Buddhist practice.
However, ordinary people lack these three items, while sound, hearing, and fate lack the last two. Bodhisattvas lack the last one, and only Buddha has all three items. The term "Buddha" in Theravada Buddhism is generally used as a honorific title for Buddha Shakyamuni. Mahayana Buddhism not only refers to Shakyamuni, but also generally refers to all those who have achieved enlightenment and fulfillment. It is claimed that there are Buddhas everywhere in the three lifetimes and ten directions, with numbers as numerous as the sand in the Ganges River.
In the past, there were seven Buddhas and Lamp burning Buddhas; In the future, there will be Maitreya Buddha; In the East, there are Ashikaga Buddha and Medicine Buddha; In the West, there is Amitabha Buddha, and there are also Mahayana Buddha (Great Sun Buddha) with a wide range of beliefs. From the perspective of the Buddha's body, there are three Buddha bodies: the Dharma body Buddha, the Prajnaparamita Buddha, and the Ying body Buddha. But Buddha, this word has a deeper meaning. If there must be a definition for the term "Buddha", it is the supreme wisdom who possesses "four bodies and five intelligences". Buddha includes "Duan", "Zheng", "Merit", "Four Body", and "Five Wisdom".
"Duan" refers to the state of nirvana where all afflictions and knowledge obstacles are cut off.

"Zheng" refers to a thorough understanding of the two truths and the nature and aspect of all things.
"Merit" refers to the immeasurable physical, mental, and spiritual merits obtained through breaking evidence.
The "Four Body" refers to the self nature body, the wisdom Dharma body, the reporting body, and the incarnation (Ying body).
The "Five Wisdom" refer to the Dharma Realm Body Wisdom, Circle Mirror Wisdom, Equality Wisdom, Wonderful Observation Wisdom, and Achievement Wisdom. "Supreme" refers to surpassing all mortals and being unparalleled.

Buddha is the mentor of the three realms and the loving father of the four beings. The Buddha, who has achieved great success, possesses endless wisdom and power, reaching the highest and unparalleled level
Therefore, all "Buddhas" have ten titles: Tathagata, Shou Gong, Quan Quan Zhi, Ming Xing Zu, Shan Shi, worldly understanding, Wu Shangshi, Diao Yu Husband, Tian Ren Shi, and Buddha Shizun. Buddha has five eyes, six senses, ten powers, and eighteen non conformists. The Buddha's body has thirty-two forms of great harmony and eighty forms of conformity. Mahayana Buddhism also claims that Buddha has three bodies, four intelligences, ten great pleasures, and eighteen great emptiness.
