According to Sadhguru, a buddha (like Siddharta Gautama, the Buddha, also known as Shakyamuni, the “Sage of the Shakya tribe”) is one who has transcended or is above his intellect (buddhi). So the opposite of a Buddha is one who has not transcended his buddhi, that is still subject to or below his intellect — the “common” people who are still subject to samsara.

∙ 12y agoMany religions use a binary system of good vs. evil (Christianity has god and the devil, Zoroastrianism has Ahriman and Ahuramazda, the Jedi have the Sith) to contrast the goodness of their point of view to the wrongness of the opposite point of view. Buddhism does not do this, partly due to the fact that there is no "god" or deity position in Buddhism to be opposite to. There is no polar opposite to following the precepts of the Eightfold Path except in the limited sense that some people are more skillful at running their lives than others and thus avoid a portion of the pain inherent in their existence.
