'''Buddha''' ({{Sanskrit|m., बुद्ध}}, literally "awakened one, enlightened one", from ''budh'' "awakening"; zh. fó 佛) generally refers to an [[initiate]] who has reached the state of [[enlightenment]], also called [[bodhi]] in [[Buddhism]]. In particular, this refers to the historical Buddha [[Siddhartha Gautama]]. However, Buddhist tradition also names Buddhas who worked in earlier epochs. In the future, according to [[Rudolf Steiner]], in the [[6th post-Atlantean cultural epoch]], the coming Buddha [[Maitreya]] will have important tasks to fulfil.

Before an initiate ascends to Buddha-dignity, he has functioned as a [[Bodhisattva]] in many previous [[incarnation]]s. A Bodhisattva is animated by an [[Archangel]] up to the [[physical body]], often only up to the [[etheric body]], and his [[consciousness]] rises up to the [[Buddhi plane]], i.e. up to the [[world of providence]]. The name Buddha indicates this connection with the [[life spirit]] [[Buddhi]]. A Buddha has already developed not only the spirit self but also Buddhi to a high degree.

The mission of a bodhisattva is fulfilled when what he has to give has become completely his own human ability. Out of his own human strength he has developed perfect [[wisdom]] ([[prajna]]) and infinite [[compassion]] ([[karuna]]) for all living things. He has thus become a Buddha whose consciousness reaches up to the [[Nirvana plane]] and whose body has been transformed into the [[Sambhoakaya]], the ''body of perfection''. Still during his life on [[Earth]], he has experienced Nirvana and finally steps out of the [[wheel of rebirths]] ([[Samsara]]) and no longer needs an earthly incarnation in the future. After his death in this last earthly life, a Buddha only has an effect on earthly events in ethereal or astral form through the so-called [[Nirmanakaya]].
