There are different Buddhas. And according to Buddhism, anybody has the hopeful potential for Buddhahood. Gautama Buddha is the historical Buddha. Amitābha Buddha is the Buddha of Pure Land. Pure Land Buddhists chant Amitābha's name, so they would be reborn in Pure Land, where they could attain Enlightenment much easier than here on Earth. Maitreya Buddha is the Buddha of tomorrow. Often, Maitreya portrays himself as a fat, bald man surrounded by children. Om!
