The teachings of the Buddha are covered in the articles on Buddhism and Buddhist philosophy.

 BUDDHA'S ENLIGHTENMENT
Shakyamuni is the Buddha of this age, Kali Yuga, before him lived Buddha Dipankara, and the Enlightened One of the next age will be Buddha Maitreya.
The myth relates that the Shakyamuni Buddha was confronted by Mara (the Buddhist personification of change and death, often called 'the evil one) and his army of evil forces.

 Did Shakyamuni Buddha Preach the Mahayana?
Buddhas, according to an axiom of Dharma, are all-seeing, all-wise beings.
I feel that Buddha Shakyamuni sowed the seeds of all these practices and faiths.
It is often stated as fact that the Mahayana is a corruption of primitive Buddhism, a deliberate compromise to be able to compete with the faith (or bhatki) of Hinduism, which was a very popular religion in ancient India during the birthing of Buddhism.

 The Learned Doctor Shan-wu-wei
Secondly, although Dainichi Buddha is a emanation of Shakyamuni Buddha, Shan-wu-wei held to the biased view that Dainichi is in fact superior to the Lord Shakyamuni.
The Lotus Sutra is the heart and core of the teachings expounded by Shakyamuni Buddha during the course of his lifetime, the foundation of all the eighty thousand doctrines of Buddhism.
This does not accord either with the intentions of those other Buddhas, or with the intentions of Shakyamuni Buddha himself, and is moreover at variance with secular propriety.

Shakyamuni who was said to be a "Buddha" by his followers, existed in a climate, apparantly, where he was believed to be not the only Buddha.
Siddhartha, Gautama, Shakyamuni buddha, or the "Sage of the Shakyas" was the prince who founded Buddhism around 483 BC (possibly earlier).

 Shakyamuni Buddha Meditation
In the Buddha are many elements that are not the Buddha, and one of those elements is me. It is this insight that enables me to realize the deep contact between myself and the Buddha, and it is this insight that gives the ceremony of paying homage to the Buddha its deepest meaning.
According to the teachings of interdependent arising, both the Buddha and the person who bows before the Buddha are manifested by cause and condition and cannot exist in separation from the rest of all that is. This is what is meant when we say both are empty.

The Buddha called the intention "that is free from greed and lust, free from ill-will, free from cruelty."
