There have been buddhas forever, before the Buddha and since. What makes Siddhartha Gautama significant is that he took the problem of dukkha or suffering, and approached it logically and scientifically to find the root cause of suffering and therefore how to stop it.In this sense, suffering or dukkha means anything that takes us away from peace and joy. Anxiety, guilt, pain, grief, remorse... Anything. He formulated the twelve links of dependent origination and the Eightfold Path as a means of liberating us from suffering.www.thebigview.com for the Eightfold Pathwww.bodhicitta.net dependent origination
