The Buddha

(Gautama Siddhartha)

"Buddha" means "the awakened one"--that is, someone who has woken up from

the dream of being a separate ego in a material universe. Gautama Siddhartha,

whom we affectionately, [mistakenly], call the Buddha, taught for forty-five years.

In all those years, and in the hundreds of thousands of teaching words that he

uttered, his message was simply this: "You are all Buddhas.

There is nothing you need to achieve. Just open your eyes."
