but within Buddhism? Hi Gerry,

Agree.

But... seems that there are traditions called Buddhists that actually believe in that.

It is a fact. And I have seen that this happens around the huge melting pot of Buddhist traditions.

Religious believes evolve taking and throwing those believes so to accommodate to the need of people, to bring comfort, not -exactly- the quenching of craving and clinging.

The word Buddha means "that one how has awaken" and if a given culture believes in some kind of holy being that awoke and gave a teaching, -mostly in dreams or in mental trance-, then, for them, that becomes "Buddhism" or the "way of doing to be awaken" whatever to be awaken is for them.
