Namu = homage, respect, praise Shakyamuni = is a name for Gautama Buddha, the historical founder of Buddhism. Shakyamuni means, 'sage of the shakyas.' Buddha was born into the Shakya tribe.

The phrase "Na mo Buddha ya," often rendered as "Namo Buddha," is a salutation in Pali and Sanskrit that translates to "Homage to the Buddha."

Another answer from our community:With all due respect to your religious beliefs, you cannot pray to a Laughing Buddha. It cannot hear you. It is not living but an object of representation.

Many people believe that buying a Buddha statue for oneself is not necessarily bad luck, but rather a matter of intention and respect. In many cultures, it is considered more meaningful to receive a Buddha as a gift from someone else, as it symbolizes the sharing of wisdom and blessings. Ultimately, the significance of the purchase depends on individual beliefs and the context in which the statue is placed. It's important to treat the statue with respect and use it as a source of inspiration and mindfulness.
Because without a government, elected by the people, there would be anarchy. People must have guidelines and leadership to respect and respect in their lives.
yes, beacuase all the teachings of the buddha, the four noble truths, are still known today and still have an affect on us....
None. One of the most basic tenets is that the Buddha was a normal man, who became enlightened through his own effort. When buddhists bow or chant, they are paying respect to the man, not worshipping a god.
