We worship because of the great qualities of the Blessed One, "iti pi so bhagava araham          sammasambuddho          vijjacharana sampanno sugato lokavidu anuttaro         purisa dhamma sarati satta deva manussanam         buddho bhagava ti".                                       I) The quality of araham means that he      has completely destroyed all greed, aversion and ignorance. The Buddha is one who has      realised the four noble truths, nibbana and has come to the end of all suffering. The      quality of arahantship is not exclusive to a sammasambuddha. It is also common to the      Silent Buddha and all Arahants.       II) However, the <a href="http://www.beyondthenet.net/buddha/sammasambuddha.html" target="_blank">quality of sammasambuddha      </a>,is exclusive to a sammasambuddha. The sammasambuddha is one who acquires the      knowledge of the four noble truths without the assistance of anyone else, thereafter      teaches others to realise the four noble truths.       (III) 'Vijja charana sam panno' 'Vijja'      means science or knowledge. 'charana' means conduct. 'Sampanno' means endowed with. So it      means endowed with knowledge and conduct. Under this word vijja we can consider some      knowledges he was endowed with, which are not exclusive to him.       IV) The quality of sugatha means beauty excellent, pleasant.      And what is it that is beautiful, excellent and pleasing, it is this noble eightfold path.      Each and every step of this noble eightfold path, is beautiful, pleasant, excellent. He      was also endowed with a beautiful body which radiated a multi coloured aura.       V) Lokavidu means the seer of the world. He sees everything      as it really is, with regard to this world. He sees all the conditions that bring about a      situation, that bring about a dhamma, the root causes, the proximate causes, and the      results that can come, that can flow from that situation. All that is his knowledge or his      ability to see the world as it really is.       VI) 'Anutharo Purisa Dhamma Sarati' means he was an incomparable tamer of      the tameable.       (VII) 'Satta deva manussanam' means, he is the teacher to      gods and humans. The word deva refers to both the gods and brahmas. And in that field he      was incomparable. He was the supreme teacher and a vast number of gods, brahmas and human      beings received his teachings, his advice, his guidance and they liberated themselves from      this mass of suffering as a result of that. That is his teaching quality.       (VIII) 'Bhuddho' means the one who has fully realised the      four noble truths, fully realised nibbana by one's own effort without any assistance from      another. That is a quality common not only to a Sammasambuddha, but also to those who are      called the silent buddhas. The difference between a Sammasambuddha and a Silent Buddha is      that the Silent Buddhas do not teach.       (IX) And finally his quality of 'bhagava' means he stands      exalted. He is exalted beyond comparison. He is exalted because of his immeasurable      merits, because of his ten perfections. No other being's perfections can be compared with      that of a Sammasambuddha, As a result of the perfection of dana or gifting, millions of      folks pay homage to him, make offerings, even after 2500 years. That is the result of his      quality called bhagava. <a href="http://www.beyondthenet.net/buddha/qualities.html" target="_blank">http://www.beyondthenet.net/buddha/qualities.html</a><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /><a href="http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/khantipalo/wheel206.html#formula" target="_blank">http://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/authors/khantipalo/wheel206.html#formula</a><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/happy.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Happy    :)" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
