i would like to say here that as far as buddha goes that buddha is actually a conciesness not a person. there was no buddha so to say but there have baan many buddhas. this being the reason that the chinese indian and tibetans all have diferant representations of him. the chinese and indian being most differant with the fat buddha in china. the buddhist believes that even jesus was an incarnation of buddha. the buddha is so vast that its essence cannot be contained within the single human body. also this is the state that the buddhist trys to acheive, through many lifetimes, is to become the buddha.
