The highest fruit of Buddhist practice. Buddha is a transliteration of Sanskrit, abbreviated as Buddha, also translated as Futu or Futu, originally meaning enlightenment. Perception has three meanings: one is self-awareness, which is the so-called self realization of one's nature; The second is called Jue He, which means to speak and guide people; The three are called perfect perception and action. Those who possess these three points of enlightenment can be called Buddha. It is said that Shakyamuni attained enlightenment at the age of 35, gaining insight into the true essence of the universe and life, achieving liberation, and began to proclaim the true meaning of his enlightenment to the public, earning him the title of "Buddha". So, Buddha or Buddha often became synonymous with Shakyamuni, but not only Shakyamuni is named after Buddha.
