Is Siddhārtha really the first Buddha? I'm certain that it isn't the case and there's other texts that points out so but I'm s bit lacking in this subject so anyone cares to enlighten this? --Bobbagum 07:28, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

There have been many Buddhas before Siddhartha and many will come in the future, but Siddhartha is considered the "Historical Buddha" because he gave us the teachings that Buddhists know and practice today. Csbodine 12:22, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
