Ok, I thought since there was a thread for the different sects of Buddhism, I'd start a thread for a list of the different Boddhisattvas(?spelling?), and Buddhas. If you know what specifically the Boddhisattva or Buddha you are adding is of, (Like Tathigata, the Boddhisattva of warfare, yes there is such a thing), please include that, if not, thats ok too.
Amida-Buddha
Tathigata, Boddhisattva of warfare and conflict
Kuanyin

There's only one problem with this, and I'll use a paragraph from the Wikipedia on Bodhisattvas to explain: Wikipedia on Bodhisattvas Some bodhisattvas appear across traditions, but due to language barriers may be seen as separate entities. For example, Tibetan Buddhists believe in Chenrezig, who is Avalokitesvara in India, Guan Yin in China, and Kannon in Japan. A modern bodhisattva for many is the 14th Dalai Lama, considered by many followers of Tibetan Buddhism to be an incarnation of that same bodhisattva, the Bodhisattva of Compassion.

Hmm, I wonder if Miroku from Inuyasha was named after this Boddhisattva? Probably not, but still, it is an interesting coincidence.
