Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

No school of Buddhism teaches such a thing. Buddha is the example to follow, the great master, but he is not god. In Buddhism there is no such powerful central figure like God, just as we have it in the Judeo-Christian civilization. Buddhism looks for spiritual improvement and liberation from mental anguish and suffering, but this is not the work of a god.
