Look, Ananda, what Dharma and discipline? that we have shown and has been commanded To all of you That Dhamma and Discipline will be your teacher By the time we passed away
(Suttanta Pitaka, Digha Nikaya, Mahavagga, Mahaparinirvana Sutta, verse 141)
The Buddha's teachings are, according to his own words, representative of the Buddha himself. Keep the Mahayana adaptation of the story.
And since all teachings boil down to the non-existence of everything, then how can you say that we are real?
