Buddha Statue

Originally , it is the figure of Buddha who started Buddhism .

About 2500 hundred years ago, after the Buddha is a variety of training, enlightenment open the Buddha ( Buddha now). Buddha means “an enlightened person. “

In China, “Buddha” was not translated into Chinese at that time, but the sound ” Buddha ” was copied to the Chinese character ” Buddha .” This “Buddha” is omitted ” Buddha ( Animal Crossing, Buddha )” has become the word.

Therefore, the “Buddha statue” is a ” hot statue “, and in a narrow sense, it is an enlightened Buddha.

Nowadays, you can easily see the Buddha statue anywhere, but you couldn’t see the Buddha statue hundreds of years after Buddha’s death, let alone when Buddha was alive. Apparently it was taboo to make a Buddha statue .

It is generally said that Buddha was an enlightened person and thought that he was different from ordinary people, but it was not possible to express Buddha as it was. Or they may have thought that they could not be expressed in the same way as ordinary human beings. This is a very old story, so there is no solid evidence, and unfortunately there is no choice but to guess.
