How many Buddha's are there?
Gautam Buddha(real name Siddhartha Gautama) was born in Lumbini,Nepal. He was prince of Shakya kingdom. As part of kingdom he was forbidden to go out. Later when he reached adulthood he left the palace to explore the world. By that time he was curious about life and everything. He then sat under a tree to meditate and self-knowledge the questions that arise on his mind. It is believed that a birth light glew on back of his head when he meditated. He taught people what he learnt from meditation and always taught people to follow the path of peace. This way Buddhism was born and his followers were called Buddhists. Buddhism spread throughout oriental Asia and some buddhists tend to medidate the way he did, e.g- through stages like not eating water,food for years to concentrate on meditation. For your question those who pass Gautam Buddha's levels and follow people the path of peace become self Buddha but there will be only one Original Buddha and he is Gautam Buddha.
Was gautam budh a follower of jainism or was a student of mahavir?
Gautham buddha was neither a follower of jainism nor a student of lord Mahavir. Both lord Mahaveer and lord Gautham Buddha were of same era. They preached in different directions of the globe. ( There is a concept which says gods of same era cannot teach in same area.. some thing like that) and hence there is no mention of meeting of Gautam buddha and Mahavir bhagwaan. The confusion may arise as Mahavir swamy had a student Gautham swamy ( which was not Gautham bhuda). There is famous story of Mahveer bhagwan and Gautam swamy. Gautam swamy was very dear to Mahaveer swamy and when mahaveer swamy wanted to take Moksha, he realised he cannot be eternal since he has emotional attachements with gautam swamy. So he asked him to go to some far place. In Gautam swamy's absene, Mahavir swamy took his moksha. When Gautam swamy came back, he felt very sad and betrayed about Mahaveer swamy taking Moksha in his absence. He cried a lot. Then Gautam swamy realised the fact that for for the one he is crying (Mahaveer swamy) , has no emotional attachment with him. Gautam swamy that moment left all his emotional attachments with Mahaveer swamy and at that moment Gautam swamy also achieved Moksha. Ans: In reality all religions are written by enlighten people who knows what the difference between any philosophy(not religion ). In reality Mahavir is the pure soul represented and Gautama is our five senses. Therefore according to Jainism Gautama had absolute knowledge after the death of Mahavir because after our death only our senses can be FREE.
