The person we call The Buddha, Siddhartha Gautama, was born in northern India, which is now in Nepal.
Siddhartha Gautama, or the buddha. this religion was spread by Buddhist monks and traders and brought to china in 200 AD. they believe in reincarnation nirvana, and parinirvana.
Anything is worth some money if you can find someone to pay. In the case of a Buddha statue it would depend on its material of construction (gold is worth more than plastic), size (all other things being equal bigger usually costs more), history (an antique is worth more than a piece of tourist schlock), artistic attributes ( an Buddha carved bya master is worth more than a "SMiling Buddha" from a CHinese restaurant)
Siddhartha Gautam Buddha, Lord Buddha was born in Nepal..Nepal is a small country between china and india..
Buddha means the Fully Enlightened One. He became the Buddha through the realisation of the intrinsic / true nature of all things in the universe, including existence / mind & body / life.
You have to pray and meditate a lot to become a Buddha.
Big Belly Laughing Buddha in Chinese language....
buddha day
Gautama Buddha is spelled as 释迦牟尼 (shìjiāmóuní) in Chinese.
God, of course. Buddha is just the Chinese equivalent of Jesus.
Gautama Buddha
Buddha
The Buddha is not depicted with a big belly in Tibetan or Indian art. The big belly seems to be a Chinese thing. [Addendum: My Chinese cultural consultant says that the big-bellied Buddha is most certainly Maitreya, the future Buddha. The big belly represents being full of potential.]
the reason there is a fat Chinese buddha is due to the fact that the Chinese adopted the buddha and altered it because in china the more heavy set you are the more "wealthy" you are...there are in fact two different sides of this believe system
Since the so-called "laughing buddha" is not the Buddha, but a 13th century Chinese Buddhist monk named Hotei, it is between you and your boss.
you spelled it wrong it's buddha anyways, it is 佛
I think they believe in the Buddha like the Chinese
Statues of Buddha are present in many temples. These are representations of the Buddha as no historical images of the Buddha exist. These statues should not be confused with the statues of Hotei, erroneously called the Laughing Buddha, seen in many Chinese restaurants. This the statue of a Budai a Chnese folkloric hero.
