I came across this article on soc.culture.asean and would like to know
more about Buddhism and its concept of omipotent/omniscient. Can someone
help, please?

Hmm... interesting. Could you (other) explain how Buddhist views Budha ?
Is he viewed as a prophet ? I'd like to know this.


Thanks in advance.
