Buddha

Buddha uses a stylistic device to describe, by drawing a figurative comparison, that the failure to recognize the illusion of the self is the source of all ignorance and unhappiness. He uses the image of turning away from the self, that is, by dropping one's ego defenses and committing suicide, a person can open up to other ways of being and relating and thus transform themselves into a pure essence of humanity. With that, and in this way, he becomes unfree. Man cuts himself off from his own inner world. In the process, man becomes a compliant tool of spiritual dictatorship and subjugated. He thus loses his creative power because for generations, except for today's gurus, whose successors are Buddha, he has been led to believe that he has a kind of transcendence and immortality
