Generally people are familiar only with Shakyamuni Buddha and they don't have a hint about the remaining 27 Buddhas ( the 28th Buddha is Shakyamuni Buddha) which had already existed on earth at different time period (kalpas). For an instance, Deepankara Buddha (who came on earth when the people used to live from 100 years to 100000 years) was the fourth Buddha among the 28 Buddhas, predicted that a hermit-Bodhisattva(aspiring Buddha) named Sumedha would be the Shakyamuni Buddha in the future. So here comes the list of the 28 Buddhas in order;
1. Tanhankara Buddha
2. Medhankara Buddha
3. Saranankar Buddha
4. Deepankara Buddha
5. Koundanya Buddha
6. Mangala Budhha
7. Sumana Buddha
8. Revata Buddha
9. Soveeta Buddha
10. Anumodassi Buddha
11. Paddhuma Buddha
12. Narada Buddha
13. Paddumuttara Buddha
14. Sumedha Buddha
15. Sujat Buddha

I didn't knew there are 28 Buddhas.Thankx for the info.
This is a request, not a comment. The 28 Buddhas have any special attachment to trees! The 24 Mahavira avatars have choicest individual trees. I am working on Aradhya Vriksha given in the Avakahada chakra. Hope you may help.
