Thank you @SengKiat, @DanielSt, and @Jorg for your explanations.
So, From the replies of @SengKiat, @DanielSt, and @Jorg, we can understand these points;
- Buddha = Bhava + Uddha = that can only be seen via PS/4NT and tilakkhana.
- that can only be understood via understanding the dhamma/teachings of Buddha.
- Arhants are also a disciple Buddha.
- Mundane understanding of Buddha = Buddha as individual/person/identity/entity
- Of course, there is no such permanent entity. which can be realized only with the removal of sakkya ditthi.
- At a deeper level Buddha is actually the state of mind. absolutely perfect pure mind without even single blemish.
- This is what is actually meant, when “Buddha” is spoken about.
- Buddha is a 100% purified perfect mind process.
- again buddha is a process, not an entity.

@SengKiat, Can you clarify a bit more about what should be understood from the sutta cited?
I understand the sutta, but, not how Buddha is to be seen from those suttas.
Do the above 5 points in this reply covers the meaning of the statement “To see buddha, you need to see PS” and “when we see PS, we see Buddha”?
