Buddha is the destroyer of the world
The reason is that from the original Buddhist point of view, the Buddha is the destroyer of the world. He destroyed the world by Awakening from the Dream of Existence of a world with a “self” in it.” The well-known verses already mentioned, makes this clear:
Numerous lives in samsara,
I ran in pursuit of the Creator;
Anekajātisaṁsāraṁ
sandhāvissaṁ anibbisaṁ
And never did I ever meet him,
So painful is repeated birth.
Gahakārakaṁ gavesanto
dukkhā jāti punappunaṁ.
Now you are seen, Oh Creator
No more will you create again;
Gahakāraka diṭṭhosi
puna gehaṁ na kāhasi
Your supports are all destroyed,
Your structure is fully dismantled;
Sabbā te phāsukā bhaggā
gahakūṭaṁ visaṅkhitaṁ
My mind has stopped creating
the emotional urge has ceased.
Visaṅkhāragataṁ cittaṁ
taṇhānaṁ khayam ajjhagā.
(Dhammapada verses 153 & 154)
These two verses represent the paradigm shift from existential thinking to experiential thinking. The first verse depicts the existential paradigm, and the second verse depicts the experiential paradigm. In the existential paradigm the objective world and the subjective self exists. In the experiential paradigm they do not exist.
