List of the named Buddhas From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In countries where Theravda Buddhism is practiced by the majority of people (Sri
Lanka, Cambodia, Laos, Burma, Thailand), it is customary for Buddhists to hold
elaborate festivals, especially during the fair weather season, paying homage to the
28 Buddhas described in the Buddhavamsa. The Buddhavamsa is a text which
describes the life of Gautama Buddha and the 27 Buddhas who preceded him.[1]
The Buddhavamsa is part of the Khuddaka Nikya, which in turn is part of the Sutta
Piaka. The Sutta Piaka is one of three main sections of the Pli Canon of
Theravda Buddhism.
The first three of these Buddhas—Tahakara, Medhakara, and Saraakara
—lived before the time of Dpankara Buddha. The fourth Buddha, Dpankara, is
especially important, as he was the Buddha who gave niyatha vivarana (prediction
of future Buddhahood) to the Brahmin youth who would in the distant future
become the bodhisattva Gautama Buddha.[2] After Dpankara, 23 more noble people
(ariya-puggala) would attain enlightenment before Gautama, the historical Buddha.
The 28 Buddhas described in the Buddhavamsa are not the only Buddhas believed
to have existed. Indeed, Gautama Buddha taught that innumerable Buddhas have
lived in past kalpas.
Many Buddhists also pay homage to the future (and 29th) Buddha, Maitreya.
According to Buddhist scripture, Maitreya will be a successor of Gautama who will
appear on Earth, achieve complete enlightenment, and teach the pure Dharma. The
prophecy of the arrival of Maitreya is found in the canonical literature of all
Buddhist sects (Theravda, Mahyna, and Vajrayna), and is accepted by most
Buddhists as a statement about an event that will take place when the Dharma will
have been forgotten on Jambudvipa (the terrestrial realm, where ordinary human
beings live).

The Seven Buddhas of Antiquity
According to Buddhist tradition, each kalpa has 1,000 Buddhas.[3] The previous kalpa was the vyuhakalpa (Glorious aeon),
and the present kalpa is called the bhadrakalpa (Auspicious aeon).[4] The Seven Buddhas of Antiquity (Saptatathgata) are
seven Buddhas which bridge the vyuhakalpa and the bhadrakalpa:[5]
