Ontological nihilism

Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi is a name for the realization that the Buddhas of the whole universe do not in fact possess the smallest perceptible attribute. There exists just the One Mind- Truly there are no multiplicity of forms, no Celestial Brilliance, and no Gloious Victory (over samsdra) or submission to the Victor. Since no Gloious Victory was ever won, there can be no such formal entity as a Buddha; and, since no submission ever took place, there can be no such formal entities as sentient beings.

How many atoms does it take to make a Buddha or a sentient beings?

There are in reality no sentient beings to be delivered by the Tathagata. If even self has no objective existence, how much less has othcr-than-sclf! Thus, neither Buddha nor sentient beings exist objectively.

The Buddha can't even deliver himself.
