"Enlightened One," is the best 'translation' of the Sanskrit word. But now we have two words to INTERPRET. "Enlightened" is a vague and difficult accomplishment to measure. And even the word "One" could be interpreted in many ways.

That's the problem with translations, different people pick different words when they translate.

1. BUDDHA

Bodhisattva

2. DHARMA
