#Buddha was a yogi who became enlightened but says there is no Self. Buddha was a great God incarnate because he introduced the idea of universal love. In his research of universal love, he found how that universal love and rituals of the Vedas are confusing and separate the humanity. So he removed those things and said "mind and nature: there are two realities." Whenever people asked is there God, he did not answer. He taught the dharma, virtuous life, as a uniting force. The way he used the term dharma, sometimes it meant God, sometimes the Self. Buddha did not use the term Self. But he used the term higher mind or enlightened mind.
