No, it would be foolish and dangerous to proclaim that I hold divine dominion over others simply and shallowly because of my religious practice.
According to the philosophy of Buddhism, anyone can become a "Buddha". Siddhārtha Gautama is considered to be the original teacher of this philosophy around 534 B.C

Without a basis of absolute truth to found my believes upon, I can make the statement, "Jesus and Buddha may as well have been identical twins, their ministries were incredibly similar, you could even call Christ's ministry the Buddhist take on the Torah."

With a basis of absolute truth, I can make the statement that Satan and Buddha may as well have been identical twins as their ministries are incredibly similar in keeping people from the Truth through deceptions and lies.

Truth is an absolute. It is not a haphazard occurance which is different from one to another. Truth is real and absolute. Lies are not absolute, but counterfeit. Lies distort the truth and are meant to deceive the seeker of truth. Truth is the key to understanding all that is, and it is up to us to find it. Jesus said the following, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

Let us learn today what the Scriptures that Jesus quoted from, and his disciples recorded in their inspired writings said concerning truth, and how the teachings of Buddhism align with Jesus' teachings by going to the following website. http://www.gospelway.com/religiousgroups/buddhism.php
