Buddha

means the Awakened One, awakened from conventional delusion, primarily of a separated self, which develops into divisiveness (hatred, anger, etc.) and desire (craving, greed. etc.). These triplets are called the Triple Poisons, which poison and destroy body/mind/world system in ripple effect in space and time, resulting in samsara suffering. The Buddha was awakened from them and lived wakefully to avoid and freed from them through sitting and stilling karma (past/present/future action/habit/heredity).

A brief biography of him may be referred. The legend of his outing from the four castle gates (四門出遊), seeing sick, aged, dead, and striving person, indicate his renunciation for striving shows his problems of the universal suffering and pursuit for the ultimate solution life (birth, sickness, aging, parting, loss, etc.) and death. His personal experience of impermanence (loss of his mother, struggle for survival, crisis of his country, etc.) contributed to his renunciation of the mundane life and pursuit of ultimate truth and peace in striving, especially in meditation.

The legend of the Brahma's beseech seems to reflect his inner world of reluctance of leaving the recluse life in peace and the outer world of suffering needing salvation, resulting in his aspiration for saving the world doomed to destruction, if left to the selfish, sinful karma destiny supported
