१२औं शताब्दीको एक थेरवादी टीका अनुसार सावकबुद्ध (श्रावकबुद्ध) भन्ने शब्द निर्वाण प्राप्त गरेको चेलालाई जनाउन प्रयोग गरिएको छ। यो ग्रन्थ अनुसार बुद्ध ३ प्रकारका हुन्छन। तर, यो परिभाषा प्रयोग गर्दा आफैले धर्म प्राप्ति गरेको बुद्धको परिभाषा नरहने हुन जान्छ। मूलप्रवाह थेरवाद र महायान ग्रन्थहरुले यस प्रकारका बुद्धलाई मानेका छैनन।

:#unsurpassed leader of persons to be tamed
:#teacher of the Divine Gods र humans

===आध्यात्मिक चिन्तन ===
These 9 characteristics are frequently mentioned in the [[Pali Canon]], र are chanted daily in many Buddhist monasteries.
सबै बुद्ध संघका अनुसार बुद्धत्त्व प्राप्त गर्ने व्यक्ति पूर्ण रुपमा राग, द्वेष, अविद्या रहित र [[संसार (बुद्ध धर्म)|सम्सार]] मुक्त हुन्छन। बुद्ध पूर्ण रुपमा जागृत र प्रज्ञायुक्त र [[दुख (बुद्ध धर्म)|दुख]] मुक्त हुन्छन।

===Spiritual realizations===
बुद्ध धर्मका विभिन्न संघले बुद्धत्त्वको प्रकृतिको बारेमा विभिन्न धारणा राख्दछन।
====त्रिपिटक: बुद्ध मानव हुन्====
All traditions hold that a Buddha has completely purified उनका mind of greed, aversion र ignorance, र that he has put an end to [[samsara]]. A Buddha is fully awakened र has realized the ultimate truth, the non-dualistic nature of life, र thus ended (for himself) the [[suffering]] which unawakened people experience in life.
त्रिपिटक अनुसार बुद्ध मानव हुन र उनीसंग आलौकिक गुण थिए(केवत्त सुत्त)। साधारण व्यक्तिका जस्तै बुद्धको शरीर र mind परिवर्तन भइरहन्छ। तर बुद्धको धर्म सिद्धान्त यी परिवर्तन संगै परिवर्तन भएनन। यो धारणा थेरवाद र प्राचीन बौद्ध संघहरुमा व्याप्त छ।
====महायानको सनातन बुद्ध====
===The Nature of Buddha===
महायानवादी केही संघहरुमा बुद्धत्त्व प्राप्ति पछि प्राणी मानव भन्दा माथि उठेर सनातन भएको विश्वास गरिन्छ। धर्मकाय भनिने यो अवस्थामा अनगिन्ती गुणयुक्त हुन्छन। महापरिनिर्वाण सूत्र अनुसार बुद्धले "Nirvana is stated to be eternally abiding. The Tathagata [Buddha] is also thus, eternally abiding, without change." भनेको आधारमा यी चिन्तनहरुको विकास भएको हो। यो चिन्तनलाई सद्धर्मपुण्डरीकसूत्र र तथागतगर्भमा परिमार्जित गरिएको छ।

The various buddhist schools hold some varying interpretations on the nature of Buddha.
====Pali Canon: Buddha was human====
{{main|Buddha - God or Man}}
From the [[Pali Canon]] emerges the view that Buddha was human, endowed with the greatest psychic powers ([[Kevatta Sutta]]). The body र mind (the five [[khandha]]s) of a Buddha are impermanent र changing, just like the body र mind of ordinary people. However, a Buddha recognizes the unchanging nature of the [[Dharma (Buddhism)|Dharma]], which is an eternal principle र an unconditioned र timeless phenomenon. This view is common in the Theravada school, र the other [[early Buddhist schools]].
====Eternal Buddha in Mahayana Buddhism====
{{main|Eternal Buddha}}
Some schools of Mahayana Buddhism believe that the Buddha is no longer essentially a human being but has become a being of a different order altogether र that the Buddha, in उनका ultimate transcendental "body/mind" mode as [[Dharmakaya]], has an eternal र infinite life (see [[eternal Buddha]]) र is possessed of great र immeasurable qualities. In the [[Mahaparinirvana Sutra]] the Buddha declares: "Nirvana is stated to be eternally abiding. The Tathagata [Buddha] is also thus, eternally abiding, without change." This is a particularly important metaphysical र soteriological doctrine in the [[Lotus Sutra]] र the [[Tathagatagarbha]] sutras. According to the Tathagatagarbha sutras, failure to recognise the Buddha's eternity र - even worse - outright denial of that eternity is deemed a major obstacle to the attainment of complete Awakening ([[bodhi]]).
