Is the word ‘Buddha’ a personal name or title, or does it stand for an office?
The
word ‘Buddha’ is not a personal name or title, but refers to a state of
enlightenment. In the case of an Arahat or a Samma sambuddho, it might also be
considered an office to the extent that these types of enlightenment include
the task of passing on the Dhamma to others (gods and men).
