Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.
Life and death are important. Don't suffer them in vain.
And as long as you're subject to birth and death, you'll never attain enlightenment.
According to the Sutras, evil deeds result in hardships and good deeds result in blessings.
All know the way, but few actually walk it.
If you use your mind to look for a Buddha, you won't see the Buddha.
