The Buddha didn't realize awakening only for himself and was perfect in knowledge and conduct and developed supreme purity, compassion, wisdom and liberation but also had immeasurable compassion and an unique ability to teach and lead others to realize awakening themselves. This made him "the unsurpassable teacher" (anuttaro purisadamma sārathi, lit.: "the unsurpassable trainer of trainable people), one of the unique qualities of the Buddha that we can recollect about him.
This Dhamma-Talk is a recollection of the Buddha as unsurpassable teacher that explains:
0:00 Introduction
1:42 How does the Buddha teach and instruct? Where do his instructions lead?
8:54 What qualities made the Buddha the unsurpassable teacher?
33:32 How successful were the teaching efforts of the Buddha and what did he achieve by teaching?
49:54 The Buddha didn't just give people information but taught so that they get stirred up and inspired to practice his teaching
Just like the sun is not only bright and radiant only for itself, but also provides the energy for the entire ecosystem of the planet earth and all beings living on it - so too the Buddha didn't realize awakening just for his own benefit but illuminated the life of countless beings and lead them to liberation.
