  • The people described below have: * claimed to have attained enlightenment and become buddhas * claimed to be manifestations of bodhisattvas * identified themselves as Buddha (though most schools of Buddhism believe that the Buddha entered nirvana and extinguished rebirth), or * been honored as buddhas or bodhisattvas due to: being identified as the reincarnation of one such (e.g., the Dalai Lama, the Panchen Lama); popularity; evidence in the form of auspicious signs. Many people in recent times have also claimed to be Maitreya, the successor of Gautama Buddha, the historical founder of Buddhism. Many have used the Maitreya incarnation claim to form a new Buddhist sect or a new religious movement or cult.
