Buddha is the person who founded the path to liberation or enlightenment. Buddha did not formulate any definitive creed. Instead, Buddha encouraged his followers to use a three pronged approach of meditation, moral restraint and philosophical reflection. This approach is used to achieve a higher level of understanding of the self that results in a rebirth or change in a positive direction without suffering (Cronze 2008).  From many literature and historical writings, Buddha did not consider himself a God.
