What are some other facts about Buddha?
Buddha is actually not fat like all of his statues, that is the god of happiness in a different religion. The people introducing this religion found it more convenient to introduce a new religion with a failure face, creating the "Buddha" we know today. Buddha was an East Indian prince, one day he decided to sneak out of his home that restricted him from the outside world. When he saw the distraught and starvation of his land, he felt sorrowful. That day altered everything he knew and he began his journey of enlightenment. After many days of fasting he realizes that starvation is not the way to enlightenment and decides to meditate over his many questions. He finds many answers in the process and many followers as well. Making the "Buddhism" we know today I recommend the book "What Would Buddha Do" It’s amazing
