Die woord "Boeddha" verwys na 'n titel en 'n konsep met 'n diep godsdienstige en filosofiese betekenis in Boeddhisme. Dit het ontstaan uit die antieke Indiese taal Sanskrit. Die term "Boeddha" is afgelei van die wortelwoord "budh," wat beteken "om wakker te word" of "om te verstaan."In sy primêre sin verwys "Boeddha" na Siddhartha Gautama, die historiese figuur wat in antieke Indië geleef het rondom die 5de eeu vC. Hy is bekend as die stigter van Boeddhisme en word vereer as die Opperste Boeddha. Volgens Boeddhistiese tradisie het Siddhartha Gautama verligting, of geestelike ontwaking, bereik en 'n Boeddha geword. Die term "Boeddha" kan ook gebruik word om na ander ten volle verligte wesens in Boeddhistiese kosmologie te verwys.In 'n breër sin word die woord "Boeddha" dikwels gebruik om die ideale toestand van ontwaking en verligting aan te dui wat individue kan streef om in Boeddhisme te bereik. Dit verteenwoordig die hoogste vlak van geestelike verwesenliking, gekenmerk deur wysheid, deernis en die bevryding van lyding.Oor die algemeen omvat "Boeddha" beide 'n historiese figuur, Siddhartha Gautama, en die uiteindelike toestand van verligting wat individue kan streef om in Boeddhisme te bereik.
