Worshipping A Buddha
Worshipping a Buddha is worshipping a form, an idea.
Better to be practical, and acknowledge the worth of a Buddha through experience.
Enlightenment is the experience of being a nobody; we are devoted to reality, and not the person. Worship is just a lucky charm, a hope, a show, a group-cultural thing following others.
There were Buddhas before The Buddha. There have been Buddhas since The Buddha.
The word ‘Buddha’ means enlightened, which is knowing one’s true reality, having eliminated all mental fixations.
An enlightened being wants us to know through experience.
The opposite wants us just to believe.
What is the point of acknowledging enlightenment just for one individual, when it is the very essence of all sentient beings?
