A. The Buddha is the state through which all the pieces is one. On this state everyone seems to be at one with all the pieces because the Buddha. If somebody sees the Buddha and needs to method him, he isn’t seeing the Buddha however being deluded by an phantasm of the Buddha.

What you will be near, or distant from, is just not the Buddha. Regardless of how onerous you might push him away, you can’t be separated from it. Regardless of how onerous you might pull him, it by no means turns into nearer to you as a result of there isn’t a different Buddha than your self and since the Buddha is formless. For this reason the sensible who see the true Dharma, the true-Self that’s the true-Buddha are by no means tempted to comply with the Buddha nor are they scared away by Mara.
