On the final period of the teachings of the Buddha:
Enlightenment can be explained to be as just an awareness that we are always in this here and now. It is not something attainable or something that can be lost. We all exist in the present moment so, for each of us, it is always there whether we are aware of it or not.
The Life Span of the Buddha implies that this Buddha-Nature like the present moment always IS. One’s Buddha nature is just an embodiment of this NOW which is always and forever just partaking of the aspect of abiding. This can be styled to be as everlasting and permanent.
It is not only the Buddha who has this vast lifespan but also fundamentally the root base nature of all beings. We all possess the Buddha nature hence we all fundamentally have this equivalent Life Span.
Shakyamuni’s resources come from his enlightenment. Enlightenment is fundamentally at harmony with all of reality. It does not give way to misunderstandings that arise from craving attachments to the world which cannot be overlooked by ordinary beings. Such as this is, enlightened resources are perfectly dynamic and unrestricted in their interactions and interrelations.
The enlightened faculty of every being has equivalent resources at its disposal. Just like Shakyamuni, through the teachings of the Lotus Period we can draw from the resources of the Bodhisattva’s of the Earth.
