The other day I stubbed two toes, the little toe on my left foot and the big toe on my right foot, in separate incidents. Do buddhas stub their toes, I ask? In so far as I am a buddha, it would seem that it must be possible. The stubbing of a toe does suggest a lack of present moment awareness though. So perhaps I am a unique buddha: an absent-minded buddha.
My actual day-to-day experience of life includes moments of tremendous presence, with something of that serenity and grace which you might expect of a buddha. Frankly, though, such moments are in the minority. Most of the time I am bumbling along much like anyone else. The only difference, if there is any difference at all, is that I am not really believing the stories my mind is creating about myself, or about anything else come to that.
So, this buddha does stub his toes once in a while, or even twice in a while. As for other buddhas, you will have to ask them, starting with yourself.
