"Buddhists believe Gautama Buddha was a man, a great teacher, and--of course--an enlightened being. They follow his teachings, they try to emulate him. [b]They do not consider him a god and they do not worship him. Idolatry is not part of Buddhism[/b]"

"[b]Buddhism doesn't fit neatly into either category of religion or philosophy[/b]. When people asked Buddha what he was teaching, he said he teaches "the way things are." He said nobody should believe his teachings out of faith, but instead they should examine for themselves to see if they are true or not."

Buddhism is more like a philosophy but instead of using just words and idea to form that philosophy, they meditate on it. When we have arguments about philosophy, in the end of the day nothing changes, our ideas and convictions might be a little more formed but in the end we are the same. In Buddhism they realize that philosophy and try to change through meditation.

Enlightenment and Nirvana are concepts and states of being. If you mean that they can meddle with the spirit of the person meditating to mislead them from the right path then you have a point. But that just makes the way longer, it doesn't change the end of the finish line which remains the same. They can't "change" the concept since it has a definitive definition.

Let's see an example.
[i]"You are trying to get an eagle egg on top of a mountain. You climb and climb but before reaching the top you see a nest with an egg inside it. It is fake, a decoy but you don't know and you think you have reached Nirvana. But the real egg still remains on top of the mountain."[/i]

[i]"You catch a glimpse, a vision, a sudden realization of how things truly are but that is just a false sense given by the angels and it still doesn't feel right. Upon more mediation you break through that false sense and catch a glimpse of the true way things are, real enlightenment."[/i]
