Gautama, also known as Śākyamuni or Shakyamuni ("sage of the Shakyas"), is the key figure in Buddhism, and accounts of his life, discourses, and monastic rules are believed by Buddhists to have been summarized after his death and memorized by his followers. Various collections of teachings attributed to Gautama were passed down by oral tradition, and first committed to writing about 400 years later. Early Western scholarship tended to accept the biography of the Buddha presented in the Buddhist scriptures as largely historical, but currently "scholars are increasingly reluctant to make unqualified claims about the historical facts of the Buddha's life and teachings."

Ognuno può diventare un Budda, se proprio lo vuole. Ma bisogna stare sempre attenti ai problemi cardiaci e a non guidare sotto gli effetti di alcolici. I Nirvana si raggiungono con la lunga e difficile comprensione del Dharma, raggiungibile a sua volta mediante la visione di tutte le puntate del telefilm Lost oppure diventando chitarristi dei Blue Öyster Cult.
