[Ali Imran]

Of cos.

So you believe Buddha has divine attributes like he can see into the future or that he knew about things nobody else knows. These are divine attributes which are usually ascribed to God.

So, even if you don't say Buddha is God, you treat him like one. 

I met one Buddhist in EDMW who prayed to Buddha, even though he also said Buddha is not god. But when you pray to a being, you give that being the attributes of a god.
