The word ‘Buddha’ is not a personal name or title, but refers to the attainment of supreme enlightenment by an individual after a prolonged period of spiritual evolution during which the 10 exalted spiritual virtues (Paramis) are perfected. In the present aeon it refers to Bodhisatta Siddhattha who became the Buddha Gotama at the age of 35 years.
Historically, we are also aware of 28 Buddhas of the past, and the future one who is called Lord Metteyya.
