Question: The Buddhist order formed by the teachings of the Buddha 2,500 years ago had many devoted practitioners and believers, especially in various parts of Asia until today. Are there any beings among them who have attained Christ Consciousness and ascended or attained the Buddha Consciousness? If so, please let me know in which era and region it was located and what kind of representative being it was.
Answer from the Ascended Master Gautama Buddha through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2025 Korea Conference.
There are certainly beings who have attained Christhood and even Buddhahood. But most of these are not known to the public because they withdrew from society at large. Some of them did not even become teachers, but still appeared as ordinary monks for the rest of their lifetime so it is not really necessary for me to give you their specific names. I also cannot do this through this messenger because he does not have enough outer knowledge of the different Buddhist orders that I can bring forth the knowledge through his mind.
But as I said, it is good to know that some people have attained this, but it is also good to know that it is not that many, partly because the focus of the Buddhist orders has not really been on bringing people to the level of Buddhahood, partly because there is still some idolatry of the Buddha, or rather there has been from the very beginning.
If you have any kind of spiritual movement that idolizes the founder, then it is not as likely that the followers will attain the same level of consciousness as the founder. They will find various reasons, various excuses for not rising to that level of consciousness. And of course, you could say that idolatry of a teacher is in its essence an excuse for the followers not striving for the same level of consciousness, but settling for a lower level in this lifetime, believing that they will make it to the goal after this lifetime, which of course cannot be done.
