'Who Was Buddha?

Buddha is not a name but a title. It is a Sanskrit word that means "a person who is awake". What a Buddha is awake to is the true nature of reality.

Simply put, Buddhism teaches that we all live in a fog of illusions created by mistaken perceptions and "impurities" – Hate, Greed, and Ignorance.

A Buddha is one who is freed from the fog.

Most of the time, when someone says the Buddha, it is in reference to the historical person who founded Buddhism. This was a man originally named Siddhartha Gautama who lived in what is now northern India and Nepal about twenty-five centuries ago.

In Buddhism, hate is a source of 'dukkha' (grief) and brings suffering to the person who does the hating.

Emotions like hatred, fear and jealousy – in fact, all feelings that lead to attachment (hate is a kind of attachment) – create karmic prisons for a being and drive them deeper into the illusion of ego.

Hatred is a battle with the self, like all negative emotions. It is not the thing we hate that is the problem; it is the ego in ourselves that leads us to hate that traps us.'
