: Has anyone attained full enlightenment since Siddhartha Gautama did? I would be especially interested if anyone knows of any Buddhas alive today.
: Is the Dalai Lama a Buddha?
Remmy, yes, many.
The Buddha is just a name.
The Dalai Lama is already enlightened.
Because of the vows to save all sentient beings
that he take rebirth to preach the Dharma.
Does this account help?
