-== Discussion ==
-Self-buddha. The first part of the Tibetan word, ''rang,'' indicates that the Self-Buddha achieves enlightenment without relying on a teacher in his last existence. The word buddha means awakened. Commonly people use the Sanskrit term, but it is long and difficult for many English speakers, as well as opaque. There are three types of self buddha: rhino-like, greater actor in assembly, and lesser actor in assembly. The common translation "solitary realizer" is not acceptable for several reasons. First of all, self-buddhas are not necessarily solitary: those who act in assembly gather in groups of five hundred or more, which could hardly be called solitary. Secondly, the translation of the word buddha as "realizer" is ungainly and inconsistent. Thirdly, to put those two together makes a very awkward and unpoetic term. It seems unnecessary to qualify the word ''self'' with either "centered" or "realized." Other suggestions such as ''those who are content with being independent'' are not only wordy but also do not have any basis in scripture that I have seen.[DKC]
