WELCOME -- BUDDHISM NETWORK
One who has attained the highest level of enlightment in the cosmos. Buddhism teaches that there are fifty-two levels of enlightenment, the highest of which is called the “enlightenment of a buddha.” The only human being on this earth ever to achieve supreme enlightenment was Sakyamuni.
All the preaching that Sakyamuni Buddha did during the 45 years since he attained Buddhahood at age 35 until he passed into the Pure Land at age 80 are recorded in the Complete Sutras.
One who seeks true Buddhism.
