Next is the explanation of the lord of the teaching. The reason 'Buddha' is identified here is to distinguish him from other persons. Therefore the \*Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa\* states: 'There are five persons who preach the Dharma: first, the Buddha; second, disciples of the Buddha; third, devas; fourth, ṛṣis; fifth, transformed persons.' To indicate that it is not spoken by other persons, it therefore says 'the Buddha.' The \*Fanmoyu jing\* states: 'What is called "Buddha" is one whose root of birth-and-death is scorched and exhausted without remainder, whose doubts are completely ended and who reaches everything, who has attained all-knowledge; his honorable title is Buddha.' The \*Fangguang bore\* states: 'The path traversed and realized by all Buddhas is called awakening; because all Buddhas are collectively awakened, he is therefore named Buddha.' The \*Da faju tuoluoni jing\* states: 'Brahmā King asked the Buddha, "Why are you named Buddha?" The Buddha said, "One who is able to attain awakening in the midst of birth-and-death is named Buddha."'" > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.82](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757.1.82) - [Next: 1.84](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757.1.84) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757~en-mt.1.83) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757.1.83](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1757.1.83) · Pramāṇa
