Who is Buddha?where he belonged to?

He was an Indian prince named Siddartha Gautama. He was a prince in Northern India, and his father, wishing him to have a perfect life, never exposed him to death, poverty, or pain, and kept him in the palace walls. One night Siddartha sneaked out of the palace. One of the first things he saw was an impoverished old person who was sick and dying. He went back home and confronted his father. They fought, and Siddartha left to find a way that man could truly avoid suffering. First he found a group of ascetics, who were very strict, and fasted all the time, and treated themselves poorly. This was too strict of life, and seemed to invite suffering, although he still found them to be wise. He found another group of persons who were hedonists, and revelers, and they lacked in discipline, and suffered due to that. One day, he say down under a big bodhi tree and began meditating. He vowed to stay at the tree and meditate until he achieved true enlightenment. He had a torturous time, being tempted by maya, and other wicked and tempting spirits. Finally though, he was able to maintain his meditation, and empty himself of everything. He achieved enlightenment, and was given the 4 noble truths, and the 8 fold path, which he then spent the rest of his life teaching to others, so that all others might achieve enlightenment, thereby breaking the cycle of life and death, and achieving a pure state without suffering which is Nirvana. That's all I remember of THE Buddha. In one of the sects I was in, we studied another Buddha who has a different story, and who set up a system of being, which also broke the cycle of life, death and suffering. This was a state of being and a place called the pure land. It was Amitabbah Buddha. (Buddha of limitless life and light). This Buddha vowed not to accept full and complete enlightenment (nirvana), until all beings have been brought to perfect enlightenment. But those who chant the name of this Buddha 10 times, and who meditate on the enlightenment of all beings, can still avoid birth, death and suffering, but will not lose the final bond of existence and achieve Nirvana, until all other beings have done so. The chant was Namu Amida Butsu, and was called Nembutsu. The sect was Jodo Shinshu was started by a Japanese master named Shinran. It was while meditating, changing, studying, and practicing under this sect, and having taken vows with an abbott, that I found the enlightenment of Christianity, and began my conversion finally to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, and the eternal life without suffering, and free of birth and death held out by our creator Father, through His son, and by the grace of His Holy Spirit.
