Was Buddha a peson

Answer 1

Buddha originally Siddhartha Gautama. He was a Prince and his family did not open him up to unpleasant things. One day he left and saw sadness, illness, and old age for the first time. One day while he was meditating under a tree the answer came to him. Then he became known as "Buddha" or "The Enlightened One".

It depends upon what branch of Buddhism you are looking at. If you are looking at the branch that has Christianity in it, (in my opinion, this branch takes away all of Siddhartha's teachings, like how you must reach nirvana on your own) then he was a god. (Mahayana Buddhism)

If you are looking at the original version, (Theravada, or Hinayana Buddhism) it stresses that Siddhartha was only human.
