Fo is the abbreviation for fotuo which was used to translate the word Buddha.(The characters used for Fotuo were pronounced buda at the time of translation.) Buddha means an enlightened one or an awakened one. The term Buddha existed in India from the earliest times, but Buddhism has attributed three additional connotations to the term. They are as follows:

enlightenment (Sambodha, which means thoroughly realizing the properties and appearance of all dhammas as they are);

perfect enlightenment (Samma-sambodhi, which means not only enlightening oneself but also equally and universally enlightening others);

supreme or paramount enlightenment (Anuttara samma-sambodhi, which means ones wisdom and achievement have reached the highest and the most perfect sphere in enlightening both oneself and others).
