And Maya is Buddha.
Gotama Buddha's Dhamma is a contradiction of his own teaching and he subjects man for 2,500 years into his sangha by his rule. That is, Buddha's destiny to be king came true and he has done the most remarkable feat than any other king in history. He has ruled men past his own death over centuries without even being present.
As a matter of fact Buddhas greatest idea was to expound a false dhamma to doubtful men. Those that see through Buddha BUT UNDERSTAND him are enlightened people.
Buddha plays Maya to those who forget they already are buddhas.

Re: Buddha is Maya
Welcome to Dhamma Wheel!
When you use the term maya, are you referring to the sanskrit term for "illusion" ?
Your post sounds similar to some Mahayana teaching? You may also want to join:

Actually, i really meant Mara.
Therefore, Buddha is Mara, Mara--Buddha.
That said, in terms of Genius I sincerely believe Gotama ranks in the top three geniuses the world has ever seen. In terms of mind, he is number one.

Liberation is the inevitable fruit of the path and is bound to blossom forth when there is steady and persistent practice. The only requirements for reaching the final goal are two: to start and to continue. If these requirements are met there is no doubt the goal will be attained. This is the Dhamma, the undeviating law.

...do I detect some buddha-dhatu/tathagatagarbha? My Mahayana senses are tingling.

So far this is one dumb-assed thread. Maybe it might get better. . .
