[edit] Sanskrit
I've deleted the Sanskrit names as they give the false impression that this list is standard in Buddhist Sanskrit literature. Probably it doesn't exist at all, but at any rate there are quite a number of lists of Buddhas in Sanskrit. Peter jackson (talk) 11:53, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] 28 Buddhas
To my knowledge, Chinese buddhism do not usually honor 28 buddhas, nor is there a concept that there were 28 buddhas. Tibetan Buddhism talks about 7 buddhas of the past age. In almost all cases Maitreya Buddha is the next buddha to come. But since Maitreya was mentioned in the context of "most Buddhist doctrines", I have changed Maitreya's identity from "the 29th" to "the next" buddha. 157.229.224.54 (talk) 14:12, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
