I think people form ideas about what 'Buddha' is, but when I studied Buddhist meditation our teachers made it clear that Buddha is not a person - it's more the title we might give to an enlightened one - and the reality of the Buddha is the enlightenment within yourself.

Yes that - and also just letting go of one’s preconceived ideas/concepts and notions of what
“should be” & letting Reality show “What Is” instead.
“What is” thus being an open question as well as witnessing the unfoldment of the answer.
Trungpa I think associated it with
“The sudden introduction of Nowness”.
(P.S. When leaving Melbourne - I had made a firm intent though to get to know Indigenous Australians …. So the ‘teaching’ started from the very first day in Darwin and with that I was hooked).
