The thing to consider when buying a buddha statue is, "Does this statue add to my sense of peace?" If the answer is yes then it's the right Buddha statue.

We had Buddhas in the house when I was growing up. Though we are Catholic, my mother liked them and was always picking them up when she saw them at flea markets and antique or thrift type stores. Her father liked the image of Buddha too and considered them good luck....but my mother, referring to the expression on Buddhas face, says that they also make her feel peaceful. So I feel as if the Buddha has always been present in my life, and that may be one of the reasons for my interest in Buddhism. This past Mother's Day, I bought her a beautiful large stone sitting Buddha for her garden that I found at a local garden center. It looks so beautiful with her flowers growing around it. Just found your channel, it's very informative - thanks for sharing!

When the Buddha was alive, and for many decades after he was not depicted in statues. Siddhartha Gautama didn't like being represented directly and preferred to be shown as a footprint, the wheel of dhamma or an empty throne. Statues showing him came long after his death. I agree though, personal feeling is important, as long as you have respect.

BroccoliRocks Well, to clarify, if the statue is a fat Buddha or some call it the Smiling Buddha, his actual name is Mettaya Buddha (in Pali) and Maitreya Buddha (in Sanskrit). The meaning of the name is Loving-Kindness. As for Siddhartha Gautama whom you mentioned, his name is Sakyamuni Buddha (in Pali) and Shakyamuni Buddha (in Sanskrit). Sakyamuni Buddha is the current Buddha while Mettaya Buddha is the next successor Buddha in the future.

I am curious..Buddha never travelled to China but It was Hu yen Sung….who came to India and carried buddhism to China….Hi Mindah ..anyway Thnx for beautiful presentation..I find Vaishnism and buddhism similar….the way you are saying ..catches attention…..let me mention..without mind and spirit….any worship becomes ritual than spiritual..so mind has to be engaged always in His service…..cosmic connection…If anyone is seriously engaged in Buddism…I request ..please visit sarnath…where Buddha first gave his preaching to famous five deciples……….one of his deciple was King Asoka Buddha born as prince at Kapilavastu…was so moved by human suffering at tender age…he left palace, beautiful wife, wealth and went to Bodh Gaya (India) for self realization…..where he obtained Siddhi…There one girl from lower level fed him rice pudding….then he came to Sarnath to start preaching meaning of human birth in this world, nonviolence….If one practices and follows ..His/her mind and soul will be enlightened….he will never be able to envy anyone….it gives you absolute mental strength…you will enjoy meditaing more yourself rather enjoying partying ..It makes you very balanced one… WE keep specil place called temple room at home….which is very imp

My ex wife forbidden Buddhist items in my household. But its 30" tall and 24" wide. I will be holding a over night visual and fasting for 3 days with candles and incense. Because of the world situation in 2021 im not able to have it blessed, but a visual is almost the same. It's going to be in my bedroom because im always sick (lung problems) and medicine buddha should be where you heal. Thanks for the great video, im excited.

Until this video I always thought the Buddha statues were portrayed as wearing a headdress of some kind. Is what I am thinking of really very thick curly hair tied in a top knot? What about the Thai Buddha statues with the spike on top. Is that supposed to be part of a helmet or a headdress? Why would the Buddha be portrayed with hair if the Sangha shaved their heads?
