ABSTRACT
Gradually the distinction came to pass in the word "Buddha", "awake", or "wise": the man who knew all, and taught as he knew; the man who knew all, and taught nothing that he knew. The former became known as Sambuddha, or sabb'annu-Buddha; the latter as Pacceka Buddha, or Prati-eka Buddha, awake for the one, namely himself alone. It became a thing of immense merit to give even a flower to recluses rejoicing in the latter repute; but the transcendent merit lay with the man in whose will was the helping of others. And thus it is by the teaching rather than by the knowing only, that the Awakened one reached up to Divinity. Again, in a Superman, the will to help by revealing knowledge would, though regulated by wisdom, be infinite. But it is fairly obvious, that nothing approaching a correspondingly infinite knowledge can justly be ascribed to the Sakyan who founded Sakya.
