Hi Aditi,
Below is an example on how you can buffer a feature using a button:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<!--The viewport meta tag is used to improve the presentation and behavior of the samples
on iOS devices-->
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1,user-scalable=no">
<title>Sample Map</title>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://js.arcgis.com/3.12/esri/css/esri.css">
<style>
html, body, #mapDiv {
padding:0;
margin:0;
height:100%;
}
#button{
position: absolute;
top: 50px;
left: 100px;
z-index: 5;
}
</style>
