One would think it was Siddhattha Gotama. But there is no such thing as the most enlightened Buddhist because the Buddhist who practice the The Noble Eightfold Path attains the same Enlightenment by ceasing craving and at the same time realizing Arya Sathya (The Noble Truth) thereby attaining Nibbana (The unbound state). The difference between the enlightenment of Thathagathe Gouthame Buddha and the enlightenment of his disciples is that Thathagathe Gouthame Buddha attained enlightenment without the guidance of a teacher. Even though the Enlightenment attained is same among the Buddha, Pacchcheka Buddha and Maha Rahath there can be differences in qualities, personalities and abilities which depend on what each individual has cultivated.
