Is Buddha An Indian Word?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Yes.

    The word means literally "wake up".  The Buddha himself was the Awakened One.  

    Even today, I'm told, if someone in India is sleeping too late, a relative may shake him awake, saying, "Buddha, buddha!"  "Wake up, wake up!"
