The Buddha: The unique being who arises out of compassion for the entire world!

The Buddha himself gives an inspiring description of the unique qualities of a perfectly awakened one in this short Sutta reading - A perfect introduction to "The Life of the Buddha"!

   • The Life of the Buddha  

The original text of "The One Person" in this video is from the Numerical Discourses of the Buddha (Anguttara Nikaya) A 1:170 and following Suttas:

"One Person arises in the world
for the wellfare of the multitude
for the happiness of the multitude
who arises out of compassion for the world
for the benefit, welfare and happiness of gods and humans.

One Person arises in the world
who is unique, without a peer
without counterpart, beyond comparison
unequalled, matchless, unrivalled
supreme among gods and humans.

The manifestation of One Person
is the manifestation of great vision
of great light, of great radiance.
It is the manifestation of the six things unsurpassed
the realization of the six analytical knowledges
the insight into the manifold elements
that constitute our universe
the realization of the fruit of knowledge and liberation
the realization of the fruit of streamentry
once-returning, non-returning and complete awakening.

Who is that One Person?
It is the Tathāgata, the Arahant, the perfectly Awakened One."
