Many Buddhas

We exist here, and we are not permanent beings. Only in this moment, we exist like this. But the next moment I will change—tomorrow I will not be the same person. This is true. The next moment I shall be a future buddha. Yesterday I was a past buddha. In this way there are many, many buddhas. And you will be another buddha.
