THE SILENT BUDDHA

A pratyekabuddha or paccekabuddha (Sanskrit and Pali, respectively), literally “a lone buddha”, “a buddha on their own” or “a private buddha”, is the so called “silent buddha” who does not try to share his realization with the world.

Pratyekabuddhas are said to achieve enlightenment on their own, without the use of teachers or guides, by “dependent origination”.

Traditionally, Paccekabuddhas give moral teachings but not enlightenment.

I believe this describes my state.

  1. I feel the same way. I’ve searched on my own for the truth, and found it with Siddhartha Gautamas teachings. I have no desire to go to any temples, or talk to any monks, cause the truth isn’t there!! Truth can only be found within!!! Namo Buddhaya
