There are at least 1000s of Living Buddhas on planet earth right now. Some know they are living Buddhas, some don't, and some suspect that they are living Buddhas because they tend to be both very intelligent and very intuitive in very special ways.
What these beings all share is a commitment to kindness toward all life on earth and throughout the universe. Not a commitment to idiot compassion but a commitment toward the most efficient way to help all beings to kindness and away from long and short term suffering.
Many know from birth who they are. Others suspect by their teens and still others suspect they are living Buddhas anytime from their twenties to their early 40s. Others are moving towards becoming living Buddhas through right thoughts, right compassion and reducing the suffering of themselves and all others in the most efficient ways possible.
I consider beings like Jesus, St. Francis of Assisi, Moses and many other saints of all religions to be living Buddhas. Mostly you can tell who they are by their attitude and actions, although many if not most prefer to work anonymously. By being an anonymous Living Buddha one can change the world in amazing ways without any interference, moving the whole world toward a heaven realm right here on earth so that beings don't have to die to experience a heaven realm.
