Therefore, it can be considered that today is the beginning of the announcement of Buddhism to the world. And because the Buddha was able to show, reveal, and inform the world which the Dhamma can be understood Therefore, it can be considered that His Majesty has completely become the Lord Buddha. That is, he completed his mission of becoming the Buddha. "Sammasambuddha" means being a Buddha who can express his enlightenment to others. which is different from "The Pacceka Buddha" who was able to attain enlightenment on his own But it cannot be taught or revealed to others.
