The Buddha as presented in much of the canon? Absolutely, yes. However, I tend to believe that there was a person behind the mythology -- just as I tend to believe that there was a an ill-fated Rabbi behind the Christian mythology. Jesus? Sure, I'll tentatively hold to a belief in an historical personage. Jesus Christ? Absolutely not.
