Siddhartha must also have become aware that the world of manifestation was an apparent outpouring of energy from a mysterious, unlimited source.

This is precisely what the Buddha discovered as he sat beneath the bodhi tree on the night of the full moon of May-or rather re-discovered, for other buddhas had blazed that particular trail b e fore him. As we saw, he had previously mastered the dhyanas, but he saw that they merely led to temporary godlike forms of existence .
