Like a man from the population of North India in 500 BCE. There were no images of the Buddha made during his lifetime, as he asked that he not be immortalized in that way. The descriptions of the Buddha in the texts of the day are all stock lists of qualities anyone in his day was supposed to have if they were to be Enlightened Ones and so are completely unreliable. We do not know any details of what the Buddha looked like.
Sanskrit for "Awakened"...meaning a Buddha is one who is Awake. When you see "The Buddha", they are referring to the historical founder of Buddhism, Gautama Buddha. ~ Eric Putkonen
Tripitaka

The seven lucky Buddha statues are said to represent many instances in life like wealth, happiness, good luck, and the like. The seven statues are money Buddha, lucky Buddha, ingot Buddha, laughing Buddha, freedom Buddha, relaxing Buddha, and wealthy Buddha.
the Buddha
Buddhism does not have gods, although some Buddhists do worship the Buddha, giving him a somewhat godlike role. The Buddha is usually depicted as a jolly fat man, somewhat like Santa Claus, but not dressed as warmly.
yes in 2000 years ago.but you can stay worship Buddha statues like real Buddha.
There is no "Good Luck" Buddha. You may be thinking of the statues of Hotei found in many Chinese establishments (aka the Laughing Buddha or the Laughing Chinaman). He is sometimes looked on as a bringer of prosperity and happiness. He is more properly associated with the Shinto religion of Japan.
No, the Buddha that we talk about today - Shakyamuni Buddha - was not the first Buddha according to the Pali Canon (The Buddhist Scriptures). Depending on what source you look at, it is said there were anywhere between six and 28 earlier Buddha's. One of the most important Buddha's was Prince Siddhartha Guatama
The Buddha is a man - he has two arms like everyone else
The ideas of Buddha had an appeal over many of Buddha's teachings like the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Path!

cool
The fact that buddha is fat. Which is funny cause buddha originally was so thin you could see the bones pressing against skin, no muscle or fat covering. This was from fasting Answer: Nobody "looks wise".A person can look angry, happy, tense, worried and so on by the positioning of their eyes, lips, eyebrow and so on - these are expressions. We'e all trained to identify these looks.In the case of the Buddha, you are looking at a statue which is an artistic representation of haw a person might have looked - but nobody knows. Artists are trianed to create representations that look like people including the expressions thy might have worn - statues of generals look fierce, statues of Roman emperors look self assured, statues of saints often look pained (depending on whether they are in the process of dying). As far as the Buddha's statues he could best be described as looking serene (untroubled). Some Buddha statues like Hotei, the fat Buddha in Chinese restaurants, look happy.In today's world people who look serene are often thought to be intelligent since they "know the truth about life". They could just as easily be numb from drugs or alcohol.
