Best Answer

The Buddha is important because he uncovered truths about the causes of human suffering, that the causes are of our own making and therefore we can do something about the unsatisfactory nature of our daily lives. The insights he offered 2,500 years ago are not based on faith, but on evidence, and stand up to scientific scrutiny after two and a half thousand years.

Buddha is a symbol of peace. Therefore important for entire world which is highly unstable to maintain peace and harmony. Answer: If the question were "Why is Jesus important to Christians today?" or "Why is Mohammed important to Islam today?" the obvious answer is that they started the religion and were a divine indicator that it is the right religion. In Buddhism the figure of the historic Buddha reminds us that any person can, by themselves, escape the cycle of death and re-birth and become enlightened.
