Yes, in what we now know as spiritual 'field effect'. Jai Guru Dev, -Buck in the Dome anartaxius writes : One of the things mentioned about Buddha's enlightenment is that at that moment he said that 'all beings were simultaneously enlightened with his awakening'. The phrase is translated in different ways but they all basically say the same thing, that with awakening all beings were perceived as enlightened.
I presume Jim can clarify what this means.
