To experience the Buddha directly is to be fully present with what is, without clinging or resistance. It is to engage with the moment, each thought, each feeling, as an expression of the Dharma. This is where awareness and insight come together, where we move beyond mere observation to a direct, intimate experience of reality.
When we practise in this way, we begin to see that Buddha is not separate from our own experience. It is present in our moments of clarity and confusion, in our joys and sorrows, in our strengths and vulnerabilities. Buddha is the quality of awareness that observes without judgement, the compassion that arises naturally when we let go of our self-centred views, the wisdom that knows the impermanence and interdependence of all things.
In this sense, Buddha is not something to be attained but something to be realised in the very fabric of our daily lives.
