Buddha reached the highest level of consciousness and became one with the intelligence of the universe - basically what you would call God. That seems to be the same thing as being God. He's as much God- for example-as Jesus would be God. The cool thing about Tibetans is that they believe we can all attain this buddhahood, if we work at it.

A Buddha's mind is what theists have thought the mind of God would be like- knowing every detail of everything in an infinite universe totally aware of everything, hence by definition inconceivable, incomprehensible, to finite ignorant egocentric consciousness. It is fundamental that enlightenment contains omniscience.

The process of one's own life is to awaken such omniscient awareness within oneself, to transcend the egocentered animal condition to become a perfect Buddha.
