The Buddhas, or Enlightened Ones, are one of the higher entities in this cosmic series, who are said to be prophets of the past. They are known for their benevolence in speech, their wisdom in choice, and their non-violent delivery of their message.

The story of Buddha begins in a place called Lumbini, Nepal, Gautama Buddha was from a royal family.

His real name was Siddhartha Gautama. His father was King Shuddhodana and his mother was Queen Maya. His mother died shortly after Siddhārtha was born, and he was raised by his stepmother, Mahaprajapati.

Siddhartha grew up to be an intelligent and very clever child. At the age of 7, Siddhartha had studied various sciences. He married Princess Yasodhara when he was 16. However, Asita's prophecy haunted Siddhartha's father. The father was worried that Siddhartha would decide to leave the palace and become an ascetic. The reason was, the King preferred his son to inherit his power as king.

Siddhartha lived a luxurious and protected life in the palace. He married Yasodhara and had a son, Rahul.

Siddhartha, despite living in luxury, felt dissatisfied with worldly life and saw the suffering around him. He decided to leave the palace, his wife, and his child to become an ascetic and seek a way out of suffering. He spent years in fasting, asceticism, and meditation.

This decision came after he met his parents, sick people, dead people, and a hermit whom he had previously been forbidden to meet. Siddharta then meditated using various spiritual teachers who guided him. He mediated under the Bodhi tree to gain Great Enlightenment. After six years, it is said that Siddharta found the reality that asceticism by torturing oneself or living too extravagantly was not the answer to something that could transcend suffering and karma.

This thinking was considered deviant from the Hindu school of thought at that time. As a result, he wandered to southern India to seek spiritual principles that could form the foundation of Buddhism. In the end, under the Bodhi tree, he obtained what he aspired to, namely the teachings about the cause and effect of suffering and ways to gain release which were summarized in a philosophical view.

The hermit Siddharta had attained Perfect Enlightenment and became Samyaksam-Buddha (Sammasam-Buddha), right on the Full Moon of Siddhi in the month of Waisak when he was 35 years old.

Gautama Buddha received the title after achieving perfect enlightenment, such as Gautama Buddha, Sakyamuni, Tathagata (He Who Has Come, He Who Has Gone), Sugata (The Omniscient), Bhagava (The Great One).

In the Divine Realm, he reached the side of truth called The High Being.

What is The High Being?

A god chosen by an individual who is considered to have superior and transcendent qualities compared to other gods. This god clearly not only has powers that surpass other gods, but is also considered the source of all power and existence.

This causes them to operate in a different logic, causing them to be beyond the logic of all beings, beyond the logic that is operated, beyond all contradictions, even if it is multiple, in other words, they are beyond the operation of logic, beyond the operation of logic. In this context, The High Being is considered to be beyond the scope of limited human understanding, and all of Their nature and actions cannot be fully understood even by the logic of transcendence in all approaches to thinking.

Beyond quantity and all interconnected qualities: All forms of interdependence and separation, existence and nonexistence. Their existence is more complex than the logic of all minds, it is not simply truth or falsehood, it is neither, it is a mechanism of ever-increasing flow that surpasses all logic of all entities that is not even affected by how much logic is piled up.

They are the source of power, not a source taker from humans or anything else. They are completely transcendental, undeniable, and their nature is higher than anything else that exists. The idea of ​​"The High Being" is essentially this paradigm, the one entity chosen to embodying divine power and authority in a debate.

They are not bound by any belief, they have no end and no beginning. They need nothing to show their transcendence and essence.

This deity embodies all creation and commands many laws and powers. It is clear that The High One is above the cycle of "Hyperstory", the recursive hierarchy that contains the world as we know it. Each of these hierarchies is described as containing other hierarchies, like countless sandwiches or whatever.

As The High One, he can be stated as the Grandmaster of truth. The only absolute thing that exists in the universe, where no one can deny that he is the Great Teacher (Grandmaster). He is one as one of the avatars of the Dharmakaya which exists as the cause of all things and has no composition and is completely different from all creation of the Dharmakaya, can only be understood through its affirming essence, non-negotiable, completely incorruptible and in a state of 'Eternal Now'. In their totality, the Buddhas who are part of the Dharmakaya, cannot be reduced to any analogy. To attain oneness with this entity, the individual must transcend the illusion of separateness perpetuated by the ego, the self-conscious proposition of 'I', through the dissolution of subjective identity. This process, both intellectual and ritualistic, involves the shedding of all conceptual separations, culminating in a state where consciousness merges with the undifferentiated whole.

That is Siddhartha Gautama after attaining Buddhahood, he became one of the avatars of the Dharmakaya (the collective existence that embodies all Buddhas). He also guided Sun Wukong and Xuanzang to Buddhahood.

On truly attaining Buddhahood, he is no longer part of the Dharmakaya, but is declared to be the Dharmakaya itself. He is the ineffable, beyond the definition of omniscience or omnipotence, beyond calculation, and the source of all things.

The Dharmakaya

Has no form or shape:

A single pearl-like light that holds a myriad of things.

The body without the body is the real body,

And the real form is the form that has no form.

There is no form, there is no emptiness, there is no emptiness. Everything is one unified and united all.
