Buddha

Siddhārtha Gautama (Sanskrit: सिद्धार्थ गौतम Siddhattha Gotama) (c. 563 - 483 BC) was a spiritual teacher in the northern region of the Indian subcontinent who founded Buddhism. He is generally regarded by Buddhists as the supreme Buddha ("Awakened One") of our age. Gautama is the key figure in Buddhism and accounts of his life, teachings and monastic rules are believed by Buddhists to have been collected and memorised by his followers after his death. Various collections of teachings attributed to Gautama were passed down by oral tradition and first committed to writing about 400 years later.

The mysterious VR Presence which appeared in the VR Net many times over the years took on many forms depending on its audience. Whilst Christians saw Jesus or the Virgin Mary, Jews saw the Burning Bush, Buddhists saw Buddha and Muslims saw what they interpreted as Allah or Mohammed.

Maria Gonzales was hailed by her followers as the Female Buddha following the revelation of her mystical powers in April 2145, but she did not accept this title.
