Buddha, however, was not an atheist in the sense that he denied the existence of the gods.
The exception is the story of Buddha's conversion from the worldly life of a prince to the life of an ascetic, which was transformed by some Oriental Christian of the seventh century into the popular medieval tale of "Barlaam and Josaphat".

In Tibet, the Medicine Buddha is revered as the source of the healing arts, and it is through him that the teachings that form the basis of Tibetan healing came into being.
The practice of Medicine Buddha Sadhana is not only a very powerful method for healing and increasing healing powers both for oneself and others, but also for overcoming the inner sickness of attachment, hatred, and ignorance.
The Medicine Buddha is revered as a great physician not because of his healing power-great though it may be- but because of his great compassion, wisdom and skill in diagnosing, and treating the root cause of all mental and physical afflictions.

The idea of an everlasting Buddha is a notion popularly associated with the Mahayana scripture, the Lotus Sutra.
That sutra has the Buddha indicate that he became Awakened countless, immeasurable, inconceivable myriads of trillions of aeons ("kalpas") ago and that his lifetime is "forever existing and immortal".
The Buddha comments there: "I say that those who do not know that the Tathagata [Buddha] is eternal are the foremost of the congenitally blind." This view, it should be noted, is foreign to mainstream Theravada Buddhism.Buddha was born in Nepal.

It is primarily the interpretation of Hinayana as a tradition that has led to the most concern, especially as many people have seen the term as a slur against the schools of Nikaya Buddhism—schools that solely follow the sutras given by Buddha that admonish the practitioner to achieve Sravaka-Buddhahood.
The Lotus Sutra (Ch.3) declares: "Though he (the Buddha) has power and fearlessness, he does not use them, but only by his wise tact does he remove and save all living creatures from the burning house of the triple world (a Buddhist term for Samsara), teaching the three vehicles: the sravaka-buddha, pratyeka-buddha, and samyaksam-buddha vehicles.
The Lotus Sutra therefore makes the distinction between the vehicles according to the type of Buddha that arises, and all Buddhists agree that a Samyaksam-Buddha is superior to a Sravaka-Buddha or a Pratyeka-Buddha, at least on the basis that only a Samyaksam-Buddha can teach the Dharma where (or when) it has not been taught before.

 Buddhist Commonalities
Following the example of the Buddha, who is the embodiment of Great Compassion (Mahakaruna) and Great Wisdom (Mahaprajna), we consider that the purpose of life is to develop compassion for all living beings without discrimination and to work for their good, happiness, and peace; and to develop wisdom leading to the realization of Ultimate Truth.
We accept the Four Noble Truths, namely Dukkha (Suffering), the Arising of Dukkha, the Cessation of Dukkha, and the Path leading to the Cessation of Dukkha; and the universal law of cause and effect as taught in the pratitya-samutpada (Conditioned Genesis or Dependent Origination).
We understand, according to the teaching of the Buddha, that all conditioned things (Samskara) are impermanent (Anitya) and dukkha, and that all conditioned and unconditioned things (Dharma) are without self (Anatma).

 WHO WAS BUDDHA?
Buddha (Sanskrit, Pali, others: literally Awakened One or Enlightened One, from the root: vbudh, "to awaken") is a title used in Buddhism for anyone who has discovered enlightenment (bodhi), although it is commonly used to refer to Siddhartha Gautama, the historical founder of Buddhism.
According to the Tripitaka, for instance, Gautama Buddha was the 28th Buddha.

 Buddha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Buddha is fully awakened and has realized the ultimate truth, the non-dualistic nature of life, and thus ended (for himself) the suffering which unawakened people experience in life.
However, a Buddha recognizes the unchanging nature of the Dharma, which is an eternal principle and an unconditioned and timeless phenomenon.
Some schools of Mahayana Buddhism believe that the Buddha is no longer essentially a human being but has become a being of a different order altogether and that the Buddha, in his ultimate transcendental "body/mind" mode as Dharmakaya, has an eternal and infinite life (see eternal Buddha) and is possessed of great and immeasurable qualities.
