In Buddhism, buddhahood ((サンスクリット:बुद्धत्व) ; (パーリ語:बुद्धत्त) or ) is the state of perfect enlightenment ((サンスクリット:सम्यक्सम्बोधि) ; (パーリ語:सम्मासम्बोधि) ) attained by a buddha ( or ; ; Pali/Sanskrit for "awakened one"). ==Explanation of the term ''Buddha''== In Theravada Buddhism, ''Buddha'' refers to one who has become awakened through their own efforts and insight, without a teacher to point out the Dharma (Sanskrit; Pali ''dhamma''; "right way of living"). A samyak sambuddha teaches the dharma to others after his awakening. A pratyeka-buddha also reaches Nirvana through his own efforts, but does not teach the dharma to others. An Arhat needs to follow the teaching of a Buddha to attain Nirvana, but can also preach the dharma after attaining Nirvana.〔Snelling, John (1987), ''The Buddhist handbook. A Complete Guide to Buddhist Teaching and Practice''. London: Century Paperbacks. Page 81〕 In one instance the term buddha is also used in Theravada to refer to all who attain Nirvana, using the term Sāvakabuddha to designate an Arhat, someone who depends on the teachings of a Buddha to attain Nirvana.〔''Udana Commentary'', tr Peter Masefield, volume I, 1994, Pali Text Society, page 94〕 In this broader sense it is equivalent to Arahant. There is a broad spectrum of opinion on the universality and method of attainment of Buddhahood, depending on the Shakyamuni Buddha's teachings that a school of Buddhism emphasizes. The level to which this manifestation requires ascetic practices varies from none at all to an absolute requirement, dependent on doctrine. Mahayana Buddhism emphasizes the Bodhisattva ideal instead of the Arhat. The Tathagatagarba and Buddha-nature doctrines of Mahayana Buddhist consider Buddhahood to be a universal and innate property of absolute wisdom. This wisdom is revealed in a person's current lifetime through Buddhist practice, without any specific relinquishment of pleasures or "earthly desires". Buddhists do not consider Siddhartha Gautama to have been the only Buddha. The Pali Canon refers to many previous ones (see List of the 28 Buddhas), while the Mahayana tradition additionally has many Buddhas of celestial origin (see Amitabha or Vairocana as examples, for lists of many thousands of Buddha names see ''Taishō Shinshū Daizōkyō'' numbers 439–448). A common Theravada and Mahayana Buddhist belief is that the next Buddha will be one named Maitreya (Pali: Metteyya). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Buddhahood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
