“I first sat in the place of meditation and gazed at the tree and walked around it." [having attained Supreme and Perfect Enlightenment for the first time at the age of 30] -- LS Chapter 2

"The humans and devas as well as asuras of all the worlds say, "The present Shakyamuni Buddha, having once gone forth from the palace of the Shakya Clan, not far from the town of Gaya, seated at the palace of Enlghtenment has obtained Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi [Supreme and Perfect Enlightenment]." However good sons. since I truly attained Buddhahood it has been immeasurable, limitless hundreds of thousands of myriads of tens of millions of nayutas of kalpas." -- LS Chapter 16
