Everyone has the capacity to become a buddha because all beings already possess the buddha nature; it just has to be made consciously manifest through the process of enlightenment. There have been countless buddhas, both celestial buddhas and buddhas in human form. An example of a celestial buddha is Amitabha, the Buddha of Infinite Light, one of the most popular objects of worship in Buddhism. An example of a human buddha is Padmasambhava, also known as Guru Rinpoche, often called the Second Buddha. He brought Buddhism from India to Tibet in the 8th century.
