Buddha literally means "the enlightend one". It is the past participle of the Sanskrit root budh, i.e. "to awaken" or "to become aware". In Buddhism, a Buddha is any being that has become fully enlightened, has permanently overcome anger, greed, and ignorance, and has achieved complete liberation from suffering, better known as Nirvana.
Buddha Sakymuni is the buddha of our present era. He is often depicted with the earth witnessing gesture in thangka paintings and statues. As well as an historical reminder it may also serve as a more general aspiration of triumph over temptations.
Buddha Maitreya is the buddha of the time to come, he is depicted seated in western fashion, with his hands in the gesture of teaching. There are infact countless Buddhas, who appear throughout the ages and according to the Lotus Sutra, there is buddha nature within everyone of us, just most of us never fulfill our true inner potentials.
