MORE LIKE A PVT BDHA

, to all Buddhist groups, there are said to be three spiritual paths, each leading to its own kind of liberation: (1) the way of the follower of a (Fully Awakened) Buddha, either in that Buddha’s lifetime or through teaching handed down, leading to the liberation of the Arahat; (2) the way of individual practice, without such contact with a Buddha, leading to the liberation of the Paccekabuddha (‘Individual Buddha’ or ‘Private Buddha’); and (3) the way of the Bodhisatta, leading to the liberation of the Sammāsambuddha or Fully Awakened Buddha, capable of being a world teacher, just like the ‘Historical Buddha’
