Last updated over 1 year ago. What is this?

A Buddha, Rob Burbea often explained, is fundamentally one who has awakened to the profound, liberating insight into the nature of reality and existence. This awakening encompasses a deep, experiential realization that penetrates beyond intellectual understanding, revealing the interdependent, empty nature of all things. A Buddha lives in a state of profound peace, clarity, and compassion, free from the entanglements of greed, hatred, and delusion. This transcendent awareness arises from diligent practice and an unwavering commitment to seeing through the illusions of the self and phenomena, resulting in profound inner freedom and the capacity to skillfully assist others on their own paths to awakening. A Buddha embodies both profound wisdom and boundless compassion, serving as a guiding light and inspiration for those still entrapped in the cycles of suffering.
