Talk:List of Buddha claimants

message: Since the Dalai Lamas are incarnations of Avalokitesvara not The Buddha, isn't this incorrect?  Or do you consider the bodhisattva to be the Buddha? --Friðrik Bragi Dýrfjörð 03:42, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

message: Hello - While Jiddu Krishnamurti did later renounce the claim made by the Theosophists Leadbeater and Blavatsky, that he was the Lord Maitreya, should he be mentioned in this list? - Mike Hebert, Baton Rouge, LA USA
Hi, how do I add someone onto this page.
I would like to add Tathagata, Sam Han Lee.
He attained enlightenment at the age of 44 in Korea.
He calls himeself "Tathagata". He travels the world endlessly - to teach what he can see.
He sells nothing and does not ask for money - he teaches as his duty.
His main teachings are based on conscience, justice and love, he teaches about karma and cause and effect.
He is the only person who has the third eye, a small lump which grew on his forehead, its also known as the eye of wisdom.
He has many followers in South Korea and pockets of followers in many other countries.
His website is www.tathagata.co.uk
no this website is no more
try 
www.karmadiet.com
http://members.tripod.com/tathagata2000
www.societyofnaturalscience.org
these are all websites that make the same claim, and I also think he should be added to the list  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C4:F901:1601:A085:388F:4CD1:1A86 (talk) 10:53, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  List of claimants as a reincarnated Buddha 

message: A "Buddha" in the sense that someone has achieved enlightenment might not be common but as unusual as this page implies. (At least from a Buddhist POV). Some might call themselves Buddha, some don't. Some call themselves Jesus, some don't.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.94.198.155 (talk) 12:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

message: He has never claimed to be Buddha.  It does not matter what his devotees claim.  Isn't this page about self-claims?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluejaguar (talk • contribs) 22:23, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

:Does "God" here mean the Abrahamic Creator God (whose existence is rejected by Buddhism), or simply a divine being?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.186.190.137 (talk) 17:21, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Not sure if this belongs, but this is a claim by a master (Meher Baba) when he was a boy. He never said this as an adult after he assumed his role as a master. http://www.lordmeher.org/index.jsp?pageBase=page.jsp&nextPage=4459 (see bottom of page, second to last paragraph) AguireTS (talk) 20:43, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Rick Ross is a felon and has had more controversy than many of the people he is paid to 'debunk'. His self-published website is being used in this article as a reference, while his articles lead to no further references from sources that meet Wikipedia standards. Therefore, if no one objects, I will be removing any refs that lead to his website. From the link: So who is Rick Ross, and why has he appointed himself both judge and jury? Rick Ross was born to a Jewish family in November 1952. His father was a plumbing contractor and his mother a helper at the Jewish Community Center in Phoenix, Arizona. After high school, Ross worked for a finance company, then a bank, before falling into trouble with the law. In 1974, he was convicted for the attempted burglary of a vacant show house and sentenced to probation. The following year he was sentenced to five years' probation after he and a friend embezzled property from a jewelery company. Ross then went to work for his cousin's car-salvage business. In 1982, aged 30, he had his first introduction to the world of groups and cults when a Christian missionary group infiltrated his grandmother's nursing home. petrarchan47Tc 20:31, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

message: Ambedkar never claimed himself to be the Buddha reincarnated, nor a Boddhisattva. While he is perhaps deified by some followers of his this is involuntary and thus he should not be considered a 'claimant' in my view. RooinMahmood07 (talk) 07:15, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
