Nothing. There is no god to worship in Buddhism. Many non-Buddhists think that Buddhists worship the buddha as a god or Christ igure, Not so. Enlightenment depends on one's own efforts to improve.

One worships a god.

Buddha isn't a god.

One reveres a great inspiration or thinker or a person who is a thought leader.

Revere isn't the same as worship.

Therefor no one worships the Buddha. He is a man, Buddhists rever him as a wise person as he determined a method by which mankind could escape pain and suffering and attain enlightenment.

No one. Buddhists worship no Gods or Deities. Some sects believe that there may be a God Realm where some people attain a temporary god-like existence as a reward for their actions, but it is not a part of the formal religion. And as for bowing to a statue of The Buddha, it is more a formal showing of respect, not worship.
