もともとはインドの言葉であった"ブッダ"という言葉を漢字に当てはめ、仏陀と書いたのが"ほとけ"の始まりです。
　仏教には多くの宗派がありますが、坐禅を通して釈尊と同じように「自他ともに救われている」ことを自覚し、世の為人の為に尽くして行くことを眼目とする流 れが禅宗と呼ばれています。坐禅は「すべてのものは既に救われている」ということを自覚する道であり、 またそれが実現した姿であります。

The text says that the word Buddha is Indian in origin. As well, rendering the kanji into romaji without explaining that makes the translation lose some of the source's meaning. The grammar also makes the English difficult to understand.
