There are many famous people who have or are currently practicing Buddhists. They can all follow different sects of the religion. Some are Kate Bosworth, Orlando Bloom, Richard Gere, Phil Jackson, Goldie Hawn, George Lucas, Jennifer Lopez, Tina Turner, and Steven Segal.

Answer 2

That's a rather vague question. My first answer would be:

His Holiness Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hanh

If you were to ask most Americans they would probably say the Dalai Lama and Richard Gere.

1. Dr. babasaheb ambedkar

2. Dalai lama

Answer 3

Any fully enlightened person, famous or not, is considered a buddha. Siddhartha Gautama was the historical founder of Buddhism, also called Buddha Shakyamuni. Padmasambhava, a 9th-century Indian master sometimes called the Second Buddha, brought Buddhism to Tibet. In modern times, many consider the present (14th) Dalai Lama to be a living buddha.

Buddhist literature mentions a number of legendary buddhas who came before Buddha Shaykamuni, such as Dipamkara and Kashyapa. The future Buddha who is expected is named Maitreya Buddha.

There are also celestial buddhas, transcendent deities who are not in human form on earth. Among the most famous of these buddhas are Amitabha, Akshobhya, Amogasiddhi, Ratnasambhava, Vairochana, and Vajrasattva. Well-known examples of female buddhas are Tara, Mamaki, Prajnaparamita, and Vajrayogini.
