all Buddhas


All Buddhas are alike All Buddhas have one purposeand one purpose only:to save the sentient beings from useless sufferings.But because human beingshave different temperaments,even after they become Buddha , each Buddha has his own unique wayof appealing to people.Because the Gautama or Sakyamuni Buddhais the last Buddha to appear on this earth, it is through himand through him only that we get to knowof the existence of other Buddhasand Buddha lands.It is therefore most appropriate that we master and honor all the basic teachings of Gautama Buddha first and foremost,even if we are attracted to theways of other Buddhasin alleviating and stopping suffering.It is like, no matter how much we love an uncle or an aunt,our parents are still our parents, first and foremost,then comes our uncle or aunt.May all have the right priorities.
