Buddha is not seen as God or even Godlike. In this regard, Buddhism varies from the main premise of most Western religions. Buddhism, according to Narada Thera on Buddhism in a Nutshell, does not revolve around worship or allegiance to a higher authority, such as God. Buddhists never pray to gods, sculptures, natural phenomena, or other deities. Buddhists, on the other hand, gaze within to seek personal understanding and spiritual growth.
