Strictly speaking, when a wheel buckles it's the rim that's gotten deformed. And if you're going to blame anything on the wheel for it - blame the rider.
If you've been tinkering with it it can either be that you've messed up the trueing or that you've overtensioned (several of) the spokes.
If you haven't been tinkering with it the next common cause is some sort of sudden overload while riding. Something like sliding and then catching up against a curb will do it, as would jumping and landing with the wheel at an angle. Getting the wheel caught in a grating, or having it fall over while stuck in a bike rack can also cause it to buckle.
