There are Buddha statues such as Nyorai, Bosatsu, Myoo, Tenbu, etc., and there are no vertical relationships such as Buddha's 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, and each has a different role, and if compared to a computer, the Buddha is the main computer body, the bodhisattva is basic OS, Myoo is applied software, and Tenbu is support software, but what will happen to the Buddha's world when the main body of the computer disappears?
I read it.
Buddhism is a teaching that aims for all people and things to become Buddha.
Everything is a teaching and path that abandons all hesitation, suffering, hatred, anger, etc., and is something that is perfect when completed, that is, becomes a Buddha.
So Buddha is the goal we aim for. Both the bodhisattvas are on their way to heaven, that is, the gods and kings are on their way to the Buddha.
It is a path where students study in various ways in order to become a Buddha like that.
So I think it's a bit different from the computer world and systems.
Mandalas express the Buddhist worldview, so there may be parts similar to the computer world, but the Buddha is in the middle.
I think they have different perceptions and ways of thinking, but I think so.
In other words, there will never be a Buddha going away.
That's because we are compatriots who both believe in the Buddha and walk the path to become Buddha.
That's because one day we will all become Buddhas ourselves.
Hello Mii-san.
I don't think it can be compared to a computer.
The Buddha's worldview is shown in the Esoteric Mandala. It might be a good idea to use that as a reference.
However, this is also one way of looking at it, and the Buddha's view of the world varies depending on the Buddhist sutras.
Please study a lot. Gassho

The existence of the Buddha can be broadly divided into “two bodies,” and one is the “Dharma body,” and the truth of enlightenment remains the same, yet with this figure, it is impossible to explain that truth to anyone.
The other is a form for being taught to sentient beings as a “color body” (revenge, response).
Apart from Bodhisattvas who have not yet been realized and are aimed at Nyorai, the color body of the Buddha, and the appearance of the Bodhisattva appearing as an incarnation or Myoo appear in response to the Incarnation (the side of sentient beings who are lost), and even if those colors and avatars of the Buddha disappear, the Dharma itself will not disappear, so I think it's OK for people to think that they are in the Pure Land as is.
Of course, since the land of one France, one pure land, falls within the scope of the power of the Buddha, it is possible that they are sent to another country for indoctrination, and for example, there is no possibility that the Dharma (Buddha) does not exist in the Shaba world today... (However, I think it is certain that the power of the Dharma that Buddha blessed still remains in this Shaba world.)

I feel like I understand it somehow.
① The fact that the main body of the computer means that the Buddha is the world itself. It is the world itself as hardware (universe), and at the same time, it also includes the reason (law) of the world itself as software...
② The basic OS of Bodhisattva means that when the OS is a program that runs the hardware, “huh? Isn't that wrong?” It will be.
However, if you think of Windows as interpreting an MS-DOS language that is difficult for the general public to understand, like Windows against MS-DOS in the old days, so that anyone can use it sensibly, it would fit perfectly that MS-DOS is a nyorai and Windows is a bodhisattva.
③ Myoo is applied software... I don't really understand this either. I wonder if it's something like Virus Buster?
Rather, in my sense, I think it's easier to understand if the PC hardware and OS are Nyorai, the Bosatsu is applied software, and Myoo is security software.
④ Tenbu is support software... I guess it comes from the fact that Tenbu, like Bonten, Taishakuten, and Kisshoten, is depicted in the image of Buddha's manager and producer... in “Holy ☆ Older Brother.”
In Buddhism, there are many computers... in other words, many worlds. It's like the world of Shaka Nyorai is our world; further west, there is Amida Nyorai's Pure Land of Paradise; conversely, there is Yakushi Nyorai's Joruri Pure Land in the east...
Ah, that's right. It would have been easier to mix hardware and software and express it like a PC Paradise Pure Land (hard) equipped with Amida Nyorai OS (software) without saying it as a Buddha.
Going back to the story, there are a lot of people in the world like that. In other words, there are a lot of computers, so there is no problem even if one computer is lost. Rather, don't worry, the proper successor model PC Miroku Bosatsu is scheduled after PC Shaka Nyorai. Plans for the future are yet to be decided, but well, something will be released sometime soon.
Incidentally, Bodhisattvas are not necessarily unaware. For example, Kannon Bosatsu. Shoho Myorai, who was enlightened a long time ago, has come to our world in the form of Kannon Bosatsu to save people.
Also, strictly speaking, neither Buddha nor Buddha are personalities; they are metaphors for the world and the state of salvation.
I can't write it down enough, but I feel that “there is no hierarchical relationship such as Buddha's 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place, and each has a different role” holds these 2 points.
