A Buddha is not a superhuman being. One who has attained this state continues to experience problems, suffering, and pain and is still subject to illness and to temptation by devilish forces. For that reason, a Buddha is a person of courage, tenacity, and continuous action who struggles ceaselessly against devilish functions.
