How Do You Recognize a Buddha in a person. and If you can know other is Buddha, certainly He will not only know but Feel that He has attained Nirvana. fact of matter is Nirvana means no returning back to this world in next birth . No rebirth This is recognize that Buddha will be always living and enjoying the Moment to Moment. No desires of any sort, material or non material will be visible in Him.
This are too much of words for Buddha.

Ok.... Buddha was a teacher who attained enlightenment. Nirvana is a state of bliss.... this comes before enlightenment. Buddhas (or would be Buddhas, also known as Bodhisattvas) attain enlightenment for the sake of all beings... not just for himself/herself. Since enlightenent is the goal of all Buddhist practitioners... then there is more than one Buddha. You are talking about the historical Buddha Sakyamuni... Before this "historical" Buddha there were three more... most recently before Sakyamuni Buddha was Buddha Kasyapa.... the next historical Buddha is Buddha Maitreya... this will be another historical Buddha... not Buddha "coming again". No Buddha completely vanishes... this is NOT THE POINT... why would this happen if the goal is to help all sentient beings by attaining enlightenment in the first place? Buddha is free from many sufferings and is free in many ways... but not gone. When you say "come again" it sounds like you are trying to define Buddha and Buddhism by the book of Revelations and Christianity. These items above can be found in sutras, teachings of Buddha Sakyamuni, our most recent historical Buddha and history, that you or anyone can choose to believe or not. Hope this helps.

Because he can enter Nirvana without remaining anytime (in layman terms, meaning to pass away without rebirth).
Not just Buddha, all his noble disciples who were enlightened knew clearly that they had attained Nirvana.

Buddha was a guy who sat under a tree and figured out a good way to live his life.
It was the dogmatists who came up with Nirvana and the whole Reincarnation thing.
Follow the path, not the teacher.

Nirvana is realized. Everything is Buddha nature, Buddha nature is Buddha's light. So Buddha is enlightened by Buddha's light. At your core you and every thing else is Buddha so after you realize this you will be enlightened by everything. : )
EDIT: Of course some things have much more enlightening power than others. : )

well, before he died, he predicted that he will attain nirvana. he had the power to look at the past and to predict the future.
