Shakyamuni, the historical Buddha, is the buddha of Hinayana Buddhism. In Mahayana Buddhist literature a number of other buddhas are introduced such as Amitabha, Medicine Buddha, the Thirty-five Confession Buddhas, etc. The buddhas of Hinayana and Mahayana have one very important thing in common. The buddhas have the same general Buddha Appearance. In Vajrayana Buddhism even more buddhas are introduced but these figures are very different in form and function and are depicted as deities such as Tara, Hevajra, Guhyasamaja and others.
