BUDDHA—‘A being who by his own force has attained to possession of the highest knowledge. He is neither man nor god. He is able to perform certain wonders in accord with the laws of nature. In an endless series of existences the Buddha prepares himself for his state of Buddhahood. During the whole of this time he is called a Budhisattva till in his last existence as a man he attains to knowledge (bodhi).’
