” When King Gautama attained enlightenment, he was called Buddha, and all those who attain this “Buddhist” state, which we would call “Christ-like,” are called Buddhas there. Gautama was not the only one; there are many others. Buddha or Christ is not a name specific to a being; it is the name of a principle, a state of consciousness.”
