The Enlightened one
Topic: India
The word Buddha is a title for the first awakened being in an era. "Buddha" is also sometimes translated as "The Enlightened One". As Gautam fully comprehended the Four Noble Truths and as he arose from the slumbers of ignorance he is called a Buddha. Before His Enlightenment he was a bodhisattva eans one who is aspiring to attain Buddha hood. He was not born a Buddha, but became a Bucddha by his own efforts. Every aspirant to Buddhahood passes through the bodhisattva period- a period comprising many lives over a vast period of time.
