It is said that the true Buddha is Enlightenment.
Also all beings, even you and I, may be Buddhas.
Thus we are all the means to Enlightenment itself.
And the spiritual journey we all share is to awaken to Enlightenment, both through our own efforts and that of others.
Yet we do not worship each other like religious icons.
For a Buddha is not some religious icon to worship mindlessly, but is the means to discover the true Buddha: Enlightenment itself.
In the eyes of monotheistic religion this is sometimes difficult to understand.
For religious worship is but part of the journey.
Thus may all people be the Buddhas to aid in each other's enlightenment.
