Buddhahood

Buddhahood refers to the state of perfect enlightenment and liberation from suffering, achieved through profound understanding of the true nature of reality. It involves awakening to the interconnectedness of all things, overcoming mental afflictions like greed, hatred, and ignorance. A Buddha embodies ultimate wisdom, compassion, and calm, serving as an example and guide for others seeking liberation. While traditionally associated with Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha, many later traditions see Buddhahood as a potential attainable by all beings through dedicated practice and insight.
