What mean Buddha?

 

Answer by Swami Gaurangapada:

 

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! A jiva (soul) can also become known as a partial incarnation of the Lord when the soul gets empowered by Lord Gauranga-Krishna to perform a specific function or mission.

 

This is known as shaktyavesha avatara or an empowered partial incarnation of the Lord. Buddha is described as such a partial empowered incarnation just like Kalki, Parashurama etc. So even though it is written that the Lord will appear it actually means that the Lord potency's partially appears by empowering a specific soul (shakti + aavesha).
