even the Buddhas are different

yes
even the Buddhas are different.

yet they are together
as Buddhas.

Buddha are all the same
in having eradicated all defilements.
but they are different
because
of their innate personality
and the vows
they have made
in
how they wish to continue to help others
after they attain Nirvana.

that's why,
Amithaba Buddha
continues to help others
by offering to assist
all human beings
who will recite His name.

Sakyamuni
contues to help humans
through His immense compassion.

Meitriya Buddha to be
will help humans
through his loving kindness
for humanbeings.

Medicine Buddha
continues to help humans
be relieving them
from the suffering
of illneses.

so,
it is obvious
we can be different
and we can still
be Buddhas
and continue to help people
even after we attain Buddhahood.

palms together
deep bows,
des/boo-ngoh
