In Buddhism, buddhahood (Sanskrit: buddhatva.Pali: buddhatta. Or (both) buddhabhāva) is the state of perfect enlightenment.

In Buddhism, the term 'buddha' usually refers to one who has become enlightened (i.e., awakened to the truth, or Dharma) on their own, without a teacher to point out the Dharma, in a time when the teachings on the Four Noble Truths or the Eightfold Path do not exist in the world, and teaches it to others.  More broadly, it is occasionally used to refer to all who attain nirvana. In this broader sense it is equivalent to Arahant. According to Theravada Buddhism, all Arahants (or Buddhas in the broader sense) are the same in the most fundamental aspects of Liberation (Nirvana), but differ in their practice of perfections paramis. Mahayana Buddhism, however, considers there is a fundamental difference between Buddhas and ordinary arhants.
From: Wikipedia.org

Buddhahood; expression for the realizaion of perfect enlightenment, which characterizes a buddha.  The attainment of buddhahood is the birthright and highest goal of all beings.  According to the highest teachings of Buddhism, as they are formulated, for example, in Zen, every sentient being has or, better, is already buddhanature; thus buddhahood cannot be "attained"; it is much more a matter of experiencing the factuality of this primordial perfection and realizing it in everyday life. 
From: The Shambhala Dictionary of Buddhism and Zen
