What became of that Buddha, whose mission was to bring compassion and love to humanity after he had left his physical body? Buddha always means one last incarnation. He only needed the Gautama incarnation to fulfill one mission. Since that time, it has no longer been possible for that bodhisattva individuality to descend into a physical body because it became a Buddha. It can only incarnate down to the etheric body. That Buddha can therefore only be seen by clairvoyants today. A form that takes on an individuality without containing a physical body is called a Nirmanakaya. In it, the entity continues the mission that was assigned to it as a Bodhisattva. The great Christ event was also prepared by the Buddha reigning in the Nirmanakaya.
