The 10 powers of the Buddha

Every person can become a Buddha, everyone has the Buddha nature in himself.

Whoever becomes an "enlightened" being has ten powers at his disposal (as in every philosophy, scholars argue about this, too).

The first power is the one that lets the "enlightened" person distinguish the right from the wrong. If we think about it a little longer, the "right" results by itself. It is important to understand here that it is not a matter of evaluation, such as "good" or "bad", but of understanding what is right according to the philosophy of Buddha, and what is not, what is harmful to oneself or others, or not. Each one of us can distinguish the right from the wrong, everyone has this power within him/herself, the question is whether he/she dares.

The second power is the one that makes the "enlightened" person realize the consequences of his/her actions. What is the consequence if I do this now, what will happen? Each one of us can see the consequences of his/her actions, each one has this power within him/her, the question is whether he/she dares.

The third power is the one that allows the "enlightened" person to recognize the tendencies of beings, that is, to see how the counterpart is "knitted". Here the problem is that many people wish their environment "differently", thus wish and reality are not congruent. Each of us can recognize the inclinations of the beings, everyone has this power in itself, the question is whether he/she dares.
