Buddha is not a person.
[edit] Origin
Buddhism was founded by a prince who became known as Buddha, after his enlightenment. He lived around the fifth century BCE. He attained enlightenment at the age of 35 and spent 45 years spreading the Buddha Dharma, based on his enlightenment experience.
Early sources say that the Buddha was born in Lumbini (now in Nepal), and that he died around age 80 in Kushinagar (India). He lived around the fifth century BCE, according to scholarship.[2] Buddhism spread throughout the Indian subcontinent in the five centuries following the Buddha's passing, and thence into Asia and elsewhere over the next two millennia.

Ok, the one that called himself Buddha died 483 bc, was born in 563 bc. In Buddhism, any person who has awakened from the "sleep of ignorance" (by directly realizing the true nature of reality), without instruction, is called a buddha.[8] If a person achieves this with the teachings of a buddha, he is called an arahant[citation needed]. Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, is thus only one among other buddhas before or after him. His teachings are oriented toward the attainment of this kind of awakening, also called enlightenment, Bodhi, liberation, or Nirvana.
Part of the Buddha’s teachings regarding the holy life and the goal of liberation is constituted by the "The Four Noble Truths", which focus on dukkha, a term that refers to suffering or the unhappiness ultimately characteristic of unawakened, worldly life. The Four Noble Truths regarding suffering state what is its nature, its cause, its cessation, and the way leading to its cessation. This way to the cessation of suffering is called "The Noble Eightfold Path", which is one of the fundamentals of Buddhist virtuous or moral life.
Numerous distinct groups have developed since the passing of the Buddha, with diverse teachings that vary widely in practice, philosophical emphasis, and culture. However, there are certain doctrines which are common to the majority of schools and traditions in Buddhism, though only Theravada regards all of them as central. About all Buddhists few valid generalizations are possible. [9]

Good to see you answered nothing in your own words.
I say again:
DO YOU HAVE ANY HARD FACTS TO PROVE THAT THE BUDDHA DIED IN 483 AND STAYED DEAD AND DID NOT ACHIEVE ENLIGHTENMENT?
DO YOU HAVE PROOF OF THIS?
Biblical_Christian @ Sat Apr 07, 2007 12:13 am
I can call myself, hypothetically any diety. But that person wouldn't be a person. Right? Icekarma?.......................Let me rephrase that. If i can call myself hypothetically a DIETY. And change my name to hmmm. Ok, Buddha. Then that makes that diety not a person, logically.
Biblical_Christian @ Sat Apr 07, 2007 12:14 am
It was the person that called himself, BUDDHA, that died. Buddha is a self proclaimed deity.
icekarma2752 @ Sat Apr 07, 2007 12:14 am
buddha made his life mission to understand human suffering at enormous cost to himself

Wrong. He BECAME the Buddha, which entails becoming one with the universe.
Now.....

icekarma, I have to go to bed soon. Can you do me a favour and make sure that this dodging sheep actually answers my question?

Prince Siddhartha Gautama was a human being. But the diety part (Buddha)was not a person. Buddhism was founded by a PRINCE Siddhartha Gautama who became known as Buddha, after his enlightenment. He lived around the fifth century BCE. He attained enlightenment at the age of 35 and spent 45 years spreading the Buddha Dharma, based on his enlightenment experience.
Early sources say that the Buddha was born in Lumbini (now in Nepal), and that he died around age 80 in Kushinagar (India). He lived around the fifth century BCE, according to scholarship. Buddhism spread throughout the Indian subcontinent in the five centuries following the Buddha's passing, and thence into Asia and elsewhere over the next two millennia.

buddha make it very clear that he wasnt a god..theres this one story where a woman brings her dead child to buddha and asks to bring it back to life..buddha replies if she can produce just one person in the world whos never had a death he will do that...just in case this goes over your head the child obviously remains dead.he was a great spiritual teacher and thats it..and i still think youre totally fucked in the head

How the heck should I know about ur Baloney Religion. I AM NOT A BUDDHA. Don't you know anything about your own faith. Maaaaaaaaan. Why are you asking me all your religions question. Don't you think you would be an expert on Budhhaism? I know lots about my Jesus.

Hey sheep, the following si taken from the site you chose to quote...
$1:
Indian Buddhism has become virtually extinct, except in parts of Nepal. Buddhism continues to attract followers around the world and is considered a major world religion. According to one source,[6] "World estimates for Buddhists vary between 230 and 500 million, with most around 350 million." However, estimates are uncertain for several countries. According to one analysis,[7] Buddhism is the fifth-largest religion in the world behind Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, and traditional Chinese religion. The monks' order (Sangha), which began during the lifetime of the Buddha in India, is amongst the oldest organizations on earth.
