Why Didn’t The Buddha Come Back?

What happened to the Buddha? Emanations constantly rekindle the light. It’s like a candle flame lighting other candles which have suitable wicks. 🙂

The universe is infinite. There is enough in the teachings to last for thousands of years, but time is needed for them to be assimilated. When they begin to run down or are corrupted, enlightened ones incarnate to reignite the flame and help sentient beings. This planet is like a kindergarten where we mature and come to fruition. If a Buddha is a person who has realised their true nature and can transmigrate at will, there are an infinite number of infinite places to be in an infinite universe.

The message is: know what you are, don’t just believe others.
Don’t even believe a Buddha.

Whether a Buddha reincarnates or not isn’t the important factor; it is the teaching on absolute truth that remains.
