What I appreciate about Gautamo, or Gotama, is that he not only showed people the end result of all of his spiritual striving toward a higher awakened state, but he spent the rest of his life strenuously coaching and training anyone who would follow some exact processes on how they too could achieve that state, and higher states, if that were possible.

That those teachings are now submerged (perhaps even lost) is why we do not have more true bodhi's walking the world today. There were, nevertheless, some exact processes and principles behind those processes, and not solely some magic aura he had when people were in his presence.

I have seen true bodhisattvas, and their "space" or auras were likewise very fine and beautiful. Each one a unique being with their own preferences.

peace,
gnosis
